iPod or Trapper Keeper?

Found this on C|Net:

Some New York City tourists apparently became trapped in the glass elevator at the new Apple store around 9 p.m. Thursday.

The elevator was stuck at street level, not below ground, so the young women were on display for Fifth Avenue passersby for about 45 minutes.

While the actual elevator door intermittently opened and closed, the door to the elevator shaft remained shut, preventing anyone from exiting the glass tube. According to the blogger, the trapped tourists were more amused by the incident than afraid, and at one point began dancing about.

While waiting for help to arrive, Apple employees managed to climb a ladder and drop bottled water down through the roof of the elevator shaft.

The New York Police Department, working with Apple employees, was eventually able to lower and pry open the elevator so that the young women could escape. Two of the trapped did burn and blister their hands from the hot lights in the shaft while climbing out, but no one was seriously injured.

Now I'm wondering...wouldn't it have been funny if the people trapped inside had mp3 players other than iPods? There they are, on display in this glass cage for everyone on Fifth Avenue to see...while they rock to tunes on their Sony Bean. Or Rio.

Then again, maybe that's why the elevator "malfunctioned" in the first place ;)
