safely trapped

The New Yorker published an excellent article by Nick Paumgarten about elevators, which is part informative facts about elevators, and part retelling of the story of Nicholas White, who spent nearly 41 hours trapped in an elevator in 1999.  The video linked therein is probably not advisable for claustrophobics.

The Intuitionist (Colson Whitehead) is a lovely book. It uses elevators and elevator inspectors in a weird metaphor for black uplift in the 40's and 50's. Highly recommended.

thank you
