How to stay calm and ride out the wait
Even the least claustrophobic among us may admit to a faint sensation of relief when the elevator doors open at our destination.

It’s for this reason that we used the word “stalled” instead of “trapped” because in reality, you’re far from trapped in this temporary situation. There are a host of ways to deal with this uncommon event and remain cool until help arrives.
