Car 30


Remember that time when you had to save money on a trip and you had no choice but to be trapped with the in-laws in a dingy motel and it felt like you're gonna die? Well, this is worse. Okay, okay...maybe the in-laws thing is hell.



But anyway, this video was purportedly leaked after more than 8 years of active cover-up by an obviously embarrassed to death company. Apparently, Nicholas White (the guy in the video) went down for a smoke break not knowing that it would be the longest smoke break that he would ever have. The incident became his ticket to a downward spiral. What would you do if you were stuck in a cage for more than 40 hours with...no cellphone, no water, no ipod?



Here's the full and very sad story of Nicholas White from the New Yorker.

All I can say is.....at least he had smokes. ;)

Yes, I saw the video earlier courtesy of my friend Perez. I think the gentleman on the video may now have a whole new view on smoking and taking elevators. The incident may serve as a catalyst for him to quit or a source for him to continue smoking since the "habit" served as an old reliable friend while imprisoned for 41 hours. It could go either way really.
He can opt to choose a healthier lifestyle and take the stairs from now on, which would entail him to quit the habit all together to be able to carry out.
I am glad they showcased the condensed version, since it would have been uncomfortable for the audience to see the times when he had to relieve himself. One things for sure this man may have been paid a hefty sum for him to keep mum all this time.
