I hadn't thought about this in years, but my high school marching band went to El Paso to participate in the Sun Bowl in the mid 80's. We were at the hotel, getting ready to go over to the parade and five of us got into an elevator to get to the ground floor. Well, it got stuck around the fifth floor. One of the guys was extremely claustraphobic and started freaking out. He freaked out even more when two of us managed to open the doors and there was nothing but solid cement in front of us. Hee!

Someone finally heard us yelling and came to get us out. We had to jump from the elevator to the floor below, then run down several flights of stairs to make the bus for the parade. We were almost late. Of course, our band directors blamed us, but to this day I swear none of us touched anything to make the elevator stop. Weird.
