NEW YORK - A time-lapse video of a man trapped in an elevator for 41 hours has become an internet sensation after surveillance camera footage emerged of the event which occurred nearly a decade ago.

"After a certain period of time I knew that I was in pretty big trouble because it was the weekend," Nicholas White today told ABC-TV's Good Morning America program.

Video of his October 15, 1999, ordeal in an elevator in New York's McGraw-Hill building was posted online to accompany an article in the April 21 edition of The New Yorker.

White said he understood why the video had captured people's attention: So many have wondered what they would do if it happened to them.

Edited to a soundtrack of classical piano music, the video shows him pacing, trying to climb the walls, lying down, curled up in a foetal position, prying apart the doors. He said he relieved himself down the shaft when the doors were open.

White sued the managers of the skyscraper and the elevator maintenance company and won an undisclosed settlement.

He was a production manager for Business Week when he left his office about 11pm on a Friday for a cigarette break.

According to the article, it was never determined exactly why the elevator stalled though there was talk of a voltage dip.

Damn. Being stuck for 41 hours in such a small space. Must feel horrible...
LOL @ that line about him sueing the company and winning an "undisclosed amount". I'm not sure, but I think dude got A LOT of money.

Probably did, especially in the U.S. But then, it must be fucking horrible, I mean, I wouldn't wanna be stuck in an elevator for one hour, but 41 :-X

I don't think that would be too appealing. You'd see her get mad bored, then panic, try to escape, fail, give up, fall asleep, pee in the elevator, sit around, wait...

LOL...surprised he didn't jerk it. It would be much more interesting if he got trapped with a female in there. :D
