Yes! It was between the 10nth and 11nth floor. I was stuck with two of my friends and we were there for several hours. We were terrified! Looking back now it was really great fun. We laugh and tell great tales about it now. And of course, every-time we tell it we are in deeper peril!! Truth is we were really pretty safe. The elevator had a built in safety brake of some kind. We were more of a safety hazard to each other than anything else. Dorothy was praying promising to give up smoking, cussing, spitting,etc. Annie was trying to climb out the top. Still not sure what she was going to do if she actually managed to get out the trap door.... I was trying to pry the doors open. (none of which worked!) The worse part of the whole thing...in my humble opinion, was the stupid alarm that was blaring at ear piercing, drum beating, glass breaking, dog howling, frequency. Well that and the fact that we all had the sudden need to pee.
Long story short, the fire department showed up. Pried the doors apart. Yes, the same doors that I had been unable to get apart. And rescued us from our certain death. (I am sure that eventually we would have succeeded in killing each other by accident!) We were eternally great-full.
To this day, every-time I get in an elevator, I say: You know, I was stuck in an elevator once.....

I work in a building where the elevator gives control to the rider. You can turn off the lights; that is so weird to be totally encased in darkness; you can stop the elevator by choice. Now, that I don't do from choice or for the fun of it, not taking that chance.
There another one on the grounds where you have to make it move up and down. Remember the old elevators where an elevator operator guided it? Well that's how this one works. If the elevator is on the 1st and you're on the 3rd you have to walk down to retrieve it. Okay, you would retrieve it to move heavy equipment or for someone who cannot do the stairs.

Yes. Me and some other people decided to jump up and down on an elevator to see if we could get it to stop. It worked. We waited about 15 minutes until someone opened the doors and had us crawl through the opening (we were between floors).

Between 2nd-3rd floor, Northrup Auditorium, Minneapolis/St. Paul, during intermission...don't remember the opera we were seeing/hearing, but I sure do remember that elevator. I walked up for the rest of that week, and refused to let him book seats off the ground floor ever again!
