| | | Posted by Johnny Mnemonic I love Adventure's story about getting locked into the Bank. It sounded pretty harrowing, but he'd naturally be better at telling the story than I would.
| Haha i was just about to post the very story! After finally gaining access to a large abandoned office building/bank, my brother, friend, and I set out to explore the first story. We headed for a solid metal door and went through. Upon opening the door, we saw directly in front of us another metal door, and to our left two double doors that led outside to the alcove from which we just entered the building (through another nearby door.) So, with the intention of opening the door directly in front of us, we walked through and let the door shut behind us..... Big mistake.... The door latched behind us. No big deal right? 2 more doors! The one we intended on going through was also locked. The exterior doors? screwed shut with lock out plates, and we had no tools on our persons. I had set my lock picks down near the POE, along with the tools my brother had brought specifically for opening screwed doors. My friend immediately attacked the windows with the butt of his tactical knife, and it did NOTHING. These windows were break proof. We were stuck in a concrete room with all metal doors, all locked. As my brother and friend began to panic, I looked at the ceiling and saw drop tiles. Awesome. So with the intention of just climbing over the door, I had my friend boost me up. Unfortunately the walls continued up in all directions.... except one. The area above the exterior doors was open and you could climb along the electric line pipes to the ceiling above the alcove, where luckily there were some light fixtures that i could unscrew with my fingers. So i took out the fixture, dropped down and went back around and released my trapped companions after that we propped open EVERY door in that place 1. Here is the ceiling i dropped out of outside. The door we came through is on the right side of the room in there.

| | | I haven't, but one of my friends nearly did last year. From what I remember, he was exploring some sort of workshop building that had a garage attached to it. This was his first visit to the place, and while climbing through his POE, never saw or heard anyone else around the place. So, he gets in through the window and starts to walk around for a bit while he waits on our friend to get there. She arrives, but says that as she was getting in, someone was watching her from afar, and backs out to get in her car and leave. Worried it was a security guard, she tells him to get away from the windows and wait it out for a bit. Quite a bit of time passes. She was far enough away to be watching the person watching her, and is still talking on the phone to our friend. The man leaves eventually, but my friend still stays inside as there was a ton of neat things to look at apparently. Suddenly, the man comes back - this time with wood and a nail gun - and goes right to the POE, sealing it up completely. My friends freak the fuck out and don't know what to do. He contemplated just trying to communicate while boarding it up, but didn't want to be caught. My friend keeps walking about, and begins to hear some sort of chatter. Through some very thin walls, he hears a television. It was playing some sort of dialogue-heavy show or movie, which my friend believes is used to scare people off. He manages to find some way to peak inside the room with the television, only to find it has full power and all sorts of construction supplies. No one was inside, and by now, the man who apparently owns the place was long gone as well. Through sheer luck, my friend managed to get out through a door and never looked back.

| | | I had a number such incidents: 1. There are a number of roofs of active sites I've been on where you can get locked out on the roof. In most cases I've been able to bypass the lock to get down, but it's scary for the first few minutes nonetheless! 2. I've also had cases in which the hatch out to a roof had a broken latch handle, so it could not be opened from the outside. Had to climb down from that one (luckily there was a rope already there the first time I encountered it - I now always check before closing the hatch). 3. Another involving elevator surfing I've described here: http://www.uer.ca/...page=12&pp#post235 4. I've had numerous occasions, usually in libraries, where I can get into a staircase, the door locks behind me, and then the only way out has an alarm attached to it. I usually have to just set off the alarm and run. 5. Not me and not UE related, but a good story to illustrate potential dangers of rail cars: http://www.nytimes...by-immigrants.html 6. Posted by Richard Davies My current girlfriend uses a wheelchair ... They explained the lift needed a key to access that floor, & the call button was switched off.

I had been confined to a wheelchair for a few months some time back (due to a medical condition only plausibly UE-related) and obviously didn't stop exploring. Now the fire codes are pretty good about making sure that there's an exit from places: but that usually involves steps. I entered the second floor of a building using the elevator - but when I wanted to leave, the damn thing didn't come! Probably caretaking had it on service mode. Luckily I had built up considerable arm strength, so I was able to bum my way down the stairs arms-only - the real trouble was hauling the damn chair down with me! It was a great ordeal taking half an hour, but I was finally able to get down and roll to freedom.

| | | Exploring a half active building, I was in an abandoned wing of the former hospital. Having explored the whole side of the building, we decided it was time to go. Except trying to leave, we found our POE was locked, from the outside. Whatever, there's hundreds of doors. So we go down the hall to a fire stairs. I knew this door locked from the outside, so I put a block of wood to keep it from closing. We went down the stairs and found that the fire exit had an alarm on it, so we couldn't go through it. Well, we tried at least 4 flights of fire stairs before we realized that we were pretty much trapped, unless we wanted to give our position away. Shit. We try another set of stairs, and find a door to the basement! Who knows, might even find the morgue! So we creep down the noisiest stairs ever, down into this boiler room. It was dark, and the hall lights were flickering, so I figured we were in the clear. So we make our way to the hallway, and I see a janitor pushing a cart, at the end of the hallway. We sneak back into the darkness, and quietly argue what we're going to do. Just then, footsteps approaching. Another janitor walks by, pushing a cart stacked with boxes on it. Luckily she didn't see or hear us, but we knew that the basement wouldn't be our way out. So, we go up again, all the way to the top floor. We wanted to see if we could get on to the roof, and sneak back in through a different roof access. We found a roof access that we could get to, and climbed down into an elevator room, Aaaaaand the door was locked. We were locked inside the elevator room. What the fuck. So, We went back on the roof, climbed back into the roof access, found the fire stairs leading to the basement, and just walked out. Janitors saw us and told us to talk to them, but we didn't stop. We just kept walking until we found a stairwell leading to the active part of the building. We walked right outside and didn't stop until we were a block down the road.
