Two cleaning ladies survived eating nothing but cough drops and aspirin when stuck in a lift for two days. Don't ask us what the nutritional value of aspirin is -- we don't know. Trapped inside a broken lift in Illinois for two days, the pair survived on two cough drops and six aspirin until they were rescued.
Beata Bartoszewicz and her mother, Roma Borowski, entered the lift in an empty building in the Chicago suburb of Illinois on December 22. After the lift doors closed, the women discovered they were stuck on the first floor of the two-story building. There was no response from an emergency call alarm and the women couldn't pry open the doors, Bartoszewicz said. Neither had a mobile phone or water and the building wasn't due to open until after Christmas. The pair became dizzy from hunger. "I was close to thinking I was going to die," Bartoszewicz said. The women tried to sleep on their coats and used a corner of the elevator as a toilet. Bartoszewicz said her mother continually reassured her. "She kept saying, 'We're going to be OK, and we're going to spend Christmas Eve at home,"' the 25-year-old said. Two days later, on Christmas Eve, an employee of the building happened to go to work. Borowski said she heard him talking on his mobile phone. The women shouted for his attention and he heard them and called emergency services. Fire crews freed the women an hour later. Bartoszewicz said the moral of the story is simple: "Always take your cell [mobile] phone with you."
