The Lives of Elevators

Noël Jackson @ 5:10 pm on 17 Apr 2008 Permalink | Comment

Wow.

This week in the magazine, Nick Paumgarten writes about the lives of elevators, and tells the story of Nicholas White, who was trapped in an elevator in New York City’s McGraw-Hill building for forty-one hours. Here is a condensed look at White’s ordeal, as captured by the building’s security cameras.

The way it’s presented leaves you feeling as though it was a case of accidental Art. Just wonderfully sad.
