Hello, Is There Anybody In There?

If you were an elevator repair person wouldn't the first question you have be something like, "I wonder if anyone is stuck in that broken elevator?" How did they miss the fact that someone was stuck in the broken elevator? A shame this guy had already delivered the three Chinese orders else he could have had some food for his three day ordeal.

Ming Kuang Chen, 35, had been the subject of a widespread search after he failed to return to his restaurant Friday night with $200 in receipts, prompting speculation that he was the victim of armed bandits or some other urban horror.

Authorities were questioning why police officers and the building's private security force found no sign of Chen, who claimed he had repeatedly cried out and pushed an alarm button in the elevator.

An investigation determined that the security camera and alarm system in the elevator were working. But security officers told police they never heard nor saw Chen until Tuesday. Authorities showed up at the building Tuesday after firefighters got a call that an elevator was stuck. Even maintenance workers who were called to check out the disabled elevator on Monday missed Chen, police said.
