edit - whoops, that's not what I meant to do. is there a way to delete a comment entirely?

That is soooo fucked up.

Guaranteed Nightmares.

Why don't we see that guy making little piles of poo in the corner? You put me anywhere for two days, and I make piles of poo.

I don't know, he didn't look to go too crazy to me. He just looked bored and frustrated.

Banging head against wall, eating said piles of poo, tearing interior of elevator apart..... that's kinda what I was expecting to see.

the "Crazy" came after he got OUT of the elevator.
From what I've read, he quit his job, and tried to sue the company for keeping him in there for over 40 hours, a few years later he finally got a settlement of less money then he would've recieved had he kept working there, and is still currently un-employed.

However, that was only a comment from another website, so I have no idea how reliable that is.

Well, it's obvious he was pissing down the elevator shaft. But yes, you have to wonder about other toiletry accommodations.

The story from The New Yorker is quite an interesting read.

Very interesting sift. I feel bad for the guy... he gets stuck in an elevator for 2 days, and all he gets for his trouble is more problems. Hopefully things have turned around for him since then.

Yeah, but then you have to smell it for two days. That's not really that long of a time to not shit. I've gone 5 days before.

Thank yooooooo, Marine!

Confirmed in the New Yorker piece.

*documentaries and *dark

How reassuring: "Eight McGraw-Hill security guards came and went while he was stranded there; nobody seems to have noticed him on the monitor."

I think his lawyer sucked BIG TIME - he really could've died there.

This is a dupe I submitted, but it looks to be the original New Yorker YT submission in case this source dies - http://www.videosift.com/video/Trapped-in-an-elevator-for-41-hours
