Jason Hatcher, a sixth-year defensive end for the Dallas Cowboys, had been having a pretty good training camp in Rob Ryan's new defense.
But that was before the elevators in the team's hotel turned on him.
His first move was to pry the doors open and start screaming for help. He got the attention of hotel security, who called the fire department for him. While trapped inside (for about 15 minutes) he eventually calmed himself down and then turned to his Twitter followers for solace.
And here's the above-referenced picture of the firefighters who got him out of the elevator.
The elevator incident caused him to miss curfew, but he's safe now, bless his heart. He has vowed to never ride that particular elevator again.
