Fifteen teens rescued from overloaded dorm elevator

Fifteen boys piled into a dormitory elevator at Eastern Michigan University and it got stuck between floors for about an hour.

The boys were attending a Brigham Young University Especially for Youth camp at the university.

Ypsilanti Fire Capt. Max Anthouard said that when firefighters arrived shortly after 11 p.m. at EMU's Walton Hall, two of the 15 boys stuck in the elevator were having difficulty breathing and five or six of them showed signs of significant dehydration.

All of them were released after being examined and treated.

Whatever happened to cramming into a phone booth? At least they don’t get stuck between floors.
