A delivery man in the Bronx spent 3 days trapped inside an elevator in an apartment block. He finally managed to use the emergency line to ask for help, but not before sparking a major land and sea search. Apparently, delivering food in New York can be a dangerous trade - 3 times in 5 years, delivery people have been killed by their customers.
Anyway, this guy delivered all three orders to the apartment block and then just 'disappeared' - and no-one noticed that the elevator wasn't working! Poor guy. Even worse that he'd delivered the food first!
This is a disaster/lawsuit waiting to happen:
Federal highway officials concluded in a report released on Monday that the leak-prone Big Dig tunnel project is structurally sound and safe for motorists.
The Federal Highway Safety Administration started an investigation after a fissure in an underground wall in September caused sand and thousands of gallons of water to gush onto the Big Dig, the underground Interstate 93 roadway through the heart of Boston. - nytimes
