@Veyo92 Yeah I know lol, but how funny would it be if that's all he would have to do. I read some articles on this too. This incident ruined his life.

@thornburn51 I don't know what your read, but the article actually tells the entire story in a very detailed and interesting way.

If he had just smoked in the elevator, the fire alarm would have gone off and he would have been saved.

Don't bother reading the article on the newyorker. I'll save you the time there are 3 sentences about the story (which are boring) the rest is also boring and has nothing to do with this video.

Hm. If I had to pee, I'd do it continuously in the elevator shaft, hoping a trace of violation will get the attention of somebody. That's what did guy hoped at one point, even lighting matches and throwing them down the shaft, not really thinking it's a good idea.

I noticed someone was still in there in the darkness after the guy escapes. I hope he didn't ACCIDENTALLY push a floor button.
