Trapped in an Elevator
This piece is so fucking moving. My god! The dude was in this elevator for 41 hours! You can totally see him go through different emotional stages: panic, frustration, boredom, acceptance. I’m sure there was a point where he wondered if he would ever be found.
Of course The New Yorker is gonna get YouTube right.

I saw this earlier. He handled it better than I would have. There would have been some serious Rumplestiltskin stomping going on.
I looked this up after I saw the vid.

It answered a couple of questions I had.

shit :S I’m so feeling with that guy. How horrible must an experience like that be?
And the music to it is awesome I think!

It is almost like we are watching his nightmare, to be trapped, I realised he kept opening up the doors, seems that every hour he had this hope that the elevator doors will open to something new. Its actually poetic, but unfortunate that he had to go through that type of mental experiance, it must of left him quite fragile afterward.
