well got stuck in a lift today, thats not the wort thing it was during a fire alarm that wasnt a drill, it was the longest 15 minutes of my life really thought that was it

near death experience for me today

people thought i was a bit mad kissing the ground as we got out.

 

Dont you know never to use a lift in the event of a fire alarm

 

 

yes unfortunate that we got in, 5 secs later it went off

then someone said 'so this is what an oven looks like from the inside' which made feel better

 

My mum hates lifts, whenever we go in them I shake it about and she goes mad.

 

Swerv, lifts are "Meant" to go to ground floor in the event of a fire alarm. I would contact the owner of the lifts as your life could of been at risk!!

 

What i do too lol

 

what happens if theres a huge fire at the bottom of the lift shaft? do you still get lowered in to the fire

 

ha ha ha
ha ha ha ha ha

 

Id much rather the fooker moved rather than stayed stuck with the doors shut

 

Id rather burn at the bottom than slowly roast at the top

 

 

19 years ago when I was 16 I started working as a process youth at ICI billingham, 3 hours into my first ever shift I got stuck in the lift of the big tower you see in the pic, it is 170 metre high and I was stuck at about 50 metres untill rescued by the fire brigade 2 hours later!!
soon got rid of my vertigo!! lol

2 hours is a long time if your shitting your self

 

Me and Stu got stuck in a lift a couple of years ago in a hotel at MarkK's wedding LOL, we were in there for about 40 minutes with two old people that were blaming us for having too much luggage pmsl.We were not best pleased as they were both extremley overweight so we felt they really didn't have an argument lol!!

 

been stuck in a lift on a building site,the cage type ones that go up the outside.better than working for a couple of hours been on the top while going up and down too

 

Me and a mate decided to see what happens if you pry the doors open on a lift as its moving, turns out that it stops between floors when that happens, and you cant get out, DOH

 

ive always wondered that aswell thankfully i never
tried it

 

It was while we were at uni, and we were on our way to an exam, we got stuck for over half an hour and ended up late

Definately wasnt my smartest decision to try it then

 

Not necessarily - depends on how it's set up. There is no UK requirement AFAIK

There are different things it can do as well. Sometimes it will stay put at ground floor until the fire brigade show up, then they can use the lift. The operation changes a bit - they need to hold the button in to make it move, and then the doors don't open unless they press and hold the open button.

Useless fact for the day

Swerv, was there actually a fire in the building?

 

not sure if there was, it deffo wasnt a drill. nothing visible and eveything back to normal after

someone may have accidently set it off as there was a lot of buiding work going on.

got some pics from the top of tower 42 in london as well, i love lifts i do

 

Cool. False alarms have got to be better than real ones LOL
