Nightmare in the iron box

The wall is there even if the door is opened. The elevator doesn't move up and below.

'Business Week' employee of the U.S. magazine, Nicholas White got on returning to smoke outside. He encountered the nightmare of the elevator's not moving with the shaft right, and being confined for 41 hours. The surveillance camera recorded the full detail for a long time.
It is a tremble image that even here seen seems to become the claustrophobia. The site is the 30th elevator in the McGraw-Hill building in NY. In a high-speed elevator of the efficiency improvement design, it is non-stop up to the 30th floor. It has stopped why by the 13th floor. It is on Friday night that the accident occurred. He tests all escape means. Intercom, warning alarm, and escape hatch. But no one answers even if he cries or shouts. His desperation changes into despair, and movement decreases gradually, too. He might surely have thought that he might die as it was.
He was able to go out of this box in 41 hours after. After all, the cause has not been understood. Mr.White seems did not to have had never to return to this office after it had escaped.
Please look at this animation. You can see a fresh image of 41 hours.


I wonder whether we can be calm when such a nightmare occurs in the elevator that we use usually often ?(239words)
