I learned a few interesting things yesterday!When the power goes out, elevators stop working.
It's a bit unnerving when the elevator suddenly stops and you are stuck inside.
Not all buildings have back-up generators.
Cell phones work inside some elevators,
and 911 is a handy feature.
After about 10 minutes,
the elevator begins to feel a bit stuffy.
You have to yell pretty loud
for the firefighters to hear you.
A metal coat hanger works wonders
in the hands of a skilled rescuer.
I remained calm the entire time!
Not bad for a girl who used to be very claustrophobic.
Spelunking helped cure me of that. :-)

wondering where you were to get stuck in an elevator. Glad you survived so well. Not sure at all how i would do!!!
Where were you? People always get stuck on elevators on All My Children! Usually, it's 2 people who are destined to be together but are estranged. During the time they are stuck, romance ensues! I guess real life is not like that since you didn't mention being stuck with anyone. Are you up for a craft session at Starbucks soon?
OMG..almost as bad as being buried alive in my neurotic mind.
