Trapped

Yesterday I was trapped in an elevator at Vincom towers and I had to climb out. Here's what happened:

Ryan went to park the motorbike in the parking garage and he asked me to go up to the movie theater on the 6th floor to buy tickets because we were running a little late. I waited in front of the elevators in the garage with about fifteen other people. When the doors opened up we all crammed inside. Someone pushed a button to go up and instead the elevator dropped....twice.

I started to panic. I started to feel hot and the room began to spin. I was murmuring under my breath "open the door". There was a child in the back of the elevator that began to whimper and I felt the same way he did. A man pushed the emergency button and spoke to someone through the speaker.

Finally after 5 minutes an emergency guy opened the door from the outside and we found ourselves between two floors. We then all climbed out and I immediately called Ryan to tell him what happened. In the time that I was stuck in the elevator he had gone to another one and was waiting for me on the 6th floor.
