- arn 18y agoThis is a long article, but interesting. Basically, guy gets stuck in elevator for 41 hours and it ends up ruining his life. here's the time lapse of the 41 hours on security camera http://www.newyorker.com/online/video/2008/04/21/080421_elevators http://www.newyorker.com/online/video/2008/04/21/080421_elev...
- sethg 18y agoHighly recommended reading (mentioned in passing in the article): Colson Whitehead's "The Intuitionist", a magic realist novel about a black female elevator inspector. No, really!
