ElEVATOR PERils Ouri ng an assignment to write a feature on elevators, the following true interview occurred with a former Heritage resident. Petit Jean: So you were trapped in the American Heritage elevator. Can you describe your exact feelings at the terrifying moment? Heritage resident: At first I didn't know what had happened. Then I realized that the elevator had suddenly stopped between floors. Petit Jean: What do you think was the cause of this climactic elevator experience? Heritage resident: Well, actually I think it was the result of my. . a hum, accidently pushing the emergency stop button . Anyway, the elevator came to rest between the first and second floors. It was then that I remembered my claustrophobia as well as my Mom and Dad back home in Tennessee. I didn't panic although I assumed because of a similar episode that I had seen on the Bob Newhart Show that I had only minutes of oxygen left. Petit Jean: What did you do? Heritage resident : I began ringing the emergency bell and assum ing from a recent adventure which I saw on the Bionic Man Petit Jean: Vou forced the door openl Heritage resident: No, but I did force open the tiniest crack to where I could see that a small crowd had gathered on the second floor just above me. I must admit it was a weak moment for me, because I began to quickly create several alibis to cover up for my having tampered ah, I mean accidently pushed the emergency stop. Finally some kind samaritan yelled down and a'sked me what was the problem . Naturally I told him that I was stuck . He kindly advised me to pull the emergency ring which automatically unstops the emergency stop button . To my horror the elevator, programmed for the second floor , jerked and began to move upward, directly to the curious and bemused audience awaiting my landing. I parted the crowd with the remains of my shattered dignity and walked down the hall to my room where I immediately shut the door and locked it. RUTH VANe£. Nashville, TN. Home Economics.
