Elevators

Here's an engaging article from the New Yorker, which includes Nicholas White's story of being trapped in an elevator for forty-one hours (once you've read the story, you might want to watch the video of his elevator weekend). You'll also learn a lot about the workings of elevators of all shapes and sizes -- and probably will think twice as you cross the threshold next time you're stepping through those automatic double doors...
