Pregnant woman gets stuck in lift at hotel in Southend

9:24am Sunday 23rd September 2012 in Local News

A HEAVILY pregnant woman and two other hotel guests had to climb out of a lift to safety in the early hours of the morning.

Fire crews from Southend were called at 2.20am today, Sunday, after the lift at the Park Inn Hotel, in Church Road, got stuck between floors.

However the carriage was jammed and refused to budge, so firefighters put up a ladder and helped the trapped trio up through the lift roof and onto the next floor.

No one was hurt.

The woman was checked over by an ambulance team at the scene.

A man and a woman are on an lift at the top of the world's tallest building, when all of a sudden, the cable snaps and the elevator starts plummeting to the ground. The emergency brakes don't work, the emergency phone doesn't work, and they both begin to panic. The woman screams "We're going to die!", rips of all her clothes, throws herself on the floor and says to the man"make me feel like a woman again!" So, he pulls off his jacket, throws it on the floor, and says "pick that up, ****."

So she is pregnant that is not an illness!

If a soldier fighting in a battle zone can have a baby and fight at the same time then anything is possible.
