Apple Elevator Crash?

So, this via Slashdot: Engadget reported on Monday about how a bunch of visitors to Apple's new flagship store in NY got stuck in the big glass elevator for 45 minutes (as originally reported in this blog, Trying not to offend).

They were eventually freed with help from the NYPD.

Naturally, if you check the Engadget and Slashdot comment threads, you'll see a lot of references to 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory', spinning beach balls, kernel panics and other jokes at Apple's expense, so I will just add this:

"I guess Force Quit didn't work, so they had to get out the prybars."

(Force Quit -- Command+Option+Escape -- is kind of the Mac equivalent to Control+Alt+Delete.)
