Seventeen commuters were trapped in a subway station elevator in Brookyn, New York, for about an hour before first responders arrived to help them climb out.

Talia Kovacs told the New York Post that after the button to call for help was pushed, the group was not told how long help would take to arrive. They were only told that the Metropolitan Transportation Authority had been notified.
