Wow…
There’s nothing worse than getting trapped in an elevator. There’s a video of some poor guy who was trapped for more than 24 hours inside of an elevator. We can’t imagine how hungry and tired he was when he was finally free. That’s a fear we live with every time we step foot on one of those ascending and descending death traps.
Escalators, on the other hand, are nothing but moving stairs. If the power goes out, you can simply move your feet to walk up or down them. This person was trapped for who knows how long. She even posted her conundrum on Facebook before finally realizing her mistake.
