OK, I have been on that elevator about 10 years ago and at that time wondered just how safe that thing was! The entire tourist site was fairly run down and that elevator made enough noise to scare me half to death back then!
Different topic, same page. Scary about the uptick in respiratory issues with children The elevator issue scary as well. I was doing a job at a high rise and got stuck in the elevator with coworker for about half an hour. Long enough till building manager got us out lol.
This might lead to an Owl's Nest question. How about something like:
A recent news post told the story of a number of tourists being stuck underground at the Grand Canyon Caverns due to an elevator failure.
Have you ever had a vacation (or any type trip) put on hold due to a mechanical failure or act of God? How long was the delay, and how was it resolved?
i dont like elevators, caves, or any tight , confined spaces....scariest elevator ive ever been on was the things you ride to the top of the St. Louis arch....and the arch didnt seem to safe either, couldnt wait to get back out...lol
The video didn’t say what conditions they were left in. We’re there lights, heat, or food? I would hope someone took them supplies until they could be rescued.
