Remember the Great Singapore Blackout back in 2004?

I was actually stuck in a lift, yes, just like this guy.



But I was stuck for only 30mins,

What happened was, I was visiting my grandma, Who lives on the 6th floor, and in older HDB estates, the lifts only stop at 3points, in the whole building, So if lets say

you're getting to the 7th floor, but the lift stops only at 6th and 12th floors, you'll have to take the stairs after getting off.

My lift was reaching the 6th floor, literally, just a 20cm distance away(I can see cause there's a window), the power went out, the lift stopped, around 5 or 10seconds later, the lights came back on, but the ventilators did not, I guess the emergency back up batteries are only lined up to power up lights.

After a while, the lift started to descent itself, really slowly, I mean really slowly, At least the emergency power is working, and at least I'm moving downwards slowly.

It did came to my mind whether if it's not the emergency power bringing me to ground level, but my weight instead, I was afterall already 120kg back then in primary 6.

Oh well, after like, 20mins or so, I reached the ground level, the lift door opened, there was a man who thought I got stuck in the lift waiting for me at ground level.

The whole street was pitch dark, not just street, I meant the whole area.
