Leave it to the government to over react and screw up our lives.

I understand why. I'm getting too old to walk all the way in and back out and I certainly wouldn't want to get on one of those elevators with a crowd of people right now.Rob

I got stuck in those elevators after hours TWICE. Doing volunteer work with a group. We (volunteer cavers)were crammed in the first time but luckily the phone worked and maintenance guy lived on site. Second time not as crammed in and maybe a year later it stops again. This time the maintenance guy had to come from town.
