Ever Had One of THOSE Days?
In October 1999, 34-year-old Nicholas White took an ordinary cigarette break. As he returned from his smoke break, he boarded the elevator to take him back to his office on the 43rd floor of the McGraw-Hill Building in Rockefeller Center.
And there, in that elevator, he spent the next 41 hours of his life, trapped, alone in the elevator.
And his entire 41-hour ordeal was caught on security cameras. (YouTube)
He’s remarkably calm throughout the entire experience! Amazingly, he doesn’t even light up yet the New Yorker article states he had more cigarettes left but he didn’t want to be caught smoking! Further, he didn’t have a cellphone or watch, so he had no idea how much time was passing.
I always find something new (to me) and interesting when I visit YouTube, and it’s rarely related to the content that brought me there in the first place.
Think you’ve had a bad day? Think about Nicholas and the elevator… FORTY-ONE HOURS. Geesh!

Well if he didn’t smoke he wouldn’t have taken a cigarette break and wouldn’t have ended up stuck in the elevator
