Am watching this because I was stuck in an elevator just a week ago and trust me it is difficult to keep calm in such condition and worst is I am claustrophobic. I thought I was going to die cos I could feel my heart tightening, am grateful to God that help arrived on time and am still alive. It was a very horrible experience 😢

From an elevator mechanic, DO NOT TRY AND OPEN THE DOOR. You can get very hurt or you can brake something and make it more difficult for a mechanic to get you out.

Tip: if you want to keep yourself entertained then you can go on your phone but remember to keep some battery for other things

The real scary part starts when the power goes off. Today I got stuck in an elevator for 15 mins . The last 5 mins had no power. Thankfully I was rescued!

I was stuck in an infrequently used hospital elevator a few weeks ago - one of those old hot metal cages - it was so terrifying as the call bell and buttons did not work and I did not have any signal or way out. I had to shout and hope there were passer by. It was so hot and I was in a panic as barely anyone knows of these elevators as its in the old section of the hospital. Luckily there was an old couple who just happenned to be walking by and helped get securtiy to help me get out. The elevator has since been put under maintenence and closed to public for the last month.

I got stuck in the lift at work yesterday 17/02/21 I work as concierge and the lift got stuck on 28th floor and could even hear the wind and my advice is to be calm because lift are safe otherwise you would panic start to feel like you loose breathing and press the bell button as it calls the lift emergency service anyway I ended up waiting up to 2 hours the lift people came and got me out and it’s scariest thing happened to me, never ever try to open the door and get out even if you’re close to the floor because sometimes lift can move and start to go down and you would be spilt in half if get caught in! Peace out

I got stuck in an airport elevator in the parking lot for an hour. That shit was scarry. And to top that I was in the Elevator with a Lady that said we might loose oxygen. I was like Thank God there was another lady in there that believe in God. We started praying and it calmed me down. The other Lady was truly messing with my emotions saying God cant help us. Im like Lady please just shut up. However I didn't tell her that, lol. I just tried my best to stay positive.

His dramatic trembling hands are too funny lol.

The guy:plays games while stuck on an damaged elevator
Me:gets creeped out while stuck and starts to panic

[nelsonahlvik]

I wouldn't suggest banging on the doors. Also most modern lifts have interlocks on their doors so if you are trying to crack the door open, if it doesen't budge dont push any harder. This might damage the lift and delay your rescue.

Imagine if the guy filming this was really stuck in a elevator
