We were visiting a relative who lives in a high rise flat.
They asked us to take some empty cardboard boxes, because their recycle bin is full.
I had something sold on eBay, and was going to pack the stuff in the cardboard box to post away.
We were carrying the empty cardboard box into the lift, and was going to put them in the car.
As soon as we entered the lift, the door shut, and nothing worked.
All the buttons in the lift was non-functional, and the door was shut solid trapping us in the lift.
We pressed the emergency button on the panel, and some one answered. We told him that we are trapped in the lift, and no control buttons work. He abruptly answered with extremely disinterested voice, that we must wait at least a half on hour until they could come out to help us. The voice was cut off, and he disappeared leaving us in the trapping lift.
We were in panic state, because we felt the air was running out.
I told wife to call the relative to come out, and help us out.
Wife was reluctant to call the relative saying what could they do to help.
I told her they could come out, and press the open door button from the outside of the lift.
She did, and they came out, and pressed the button, and the door opened, and we were able to escape from the deadly lift.
Has this ever happen to you? It was a freightenning experience of 15 minutes trapped in the lift with air running out in the space.
Is the modern technology worth it? Are they safe and 100% error free?
Not being so can cost your life. I don't envy folks living or working the high rise buildings.
Next time when you go into a lift, ensure your phone is working and operational.
Even if it does, if they don't have the phone signal in the lift, and something like that ever happens, the it could be quite stressful experience.
