Police Free 26 Cheerleaders from elevator at University of Texas' Jester Hall

August 6, 2008By RACHEL SLADE / The Dallas Morning News
sslade@dallasnews.comPolice and firefighters were called to the University of Texas' Jester Hall to free 26 cheerleaders who had crammed themselves into an elevator. A group of 14- to 17-year-olds attending Texas Cheer Camp in Austin decided to see how many girls they could squeeze into the elevator around 6 p.m. Tuesday, campus police said.The elevator successfully descended from the fourth floor to the first, but the doors refused to open.The panicked girls managed to wiggle a few cell phones free to call for help. But it took about 25 minutes before a repairman was able to fix the door, police said.“It’s dangerous actually,” said Rhonda Weldon, director of communications for the UT Police Department. "They’re lucky that that’s all that happened."One teen fainted and was treated and released from a nearby hospital. Two others were treated at the scene.“Take the sign seriously,” Ms. Weldon said. “There are signs everywhere: No more than 15 people or 3,000 pounds.”

Bigger boobs=less brains

 

[mellifluous]

ahahhahah what idiots.

 

[treesmann]

i dont really think there was a safety issue there at all. sure they exceeded the person capacity, but 26 teenage cheerleaders wouldnt break 3000 pounds

 

[Hannah.]

haha wow so stupid

 

[KellyK]

imagine, ur one guy stuck alone in an elevator with 26 beautiful cheeleaders........good day

 

[RICK_ROSS]

i wish i was the gay guy cheerleader in the middle

 

[Dr.Scholl]

scientific break through right here on Newschoolers

 

[comeatmebro]

word. it comes out to each one weighing about 115 lbs. which i would think is average for a cheerleader of that age? i'm sure there are a couple like 150 and a couple 100. so i imagine they would be like 100 or so pounds over the limit...big deal.

 

[DrStrangelove]

wait, you wish you were gay?

 

[RICK_ROSS]

if it get me in the middle of 20 17yr FUCK YA

 

[cobra_commander]

happened to about 25 of my classmates. they were stuck for about 25-35 minutes. and elevators are not air conditioned.

 

[DrStrangelove]

but you wouldnt even be able to enjoy it unless you were a lesbian...now if you were a guy cheerleader PRETENDING to be gay in order to pull this off, THAT i would understand

 

[Sno.]

"no more than 15 people or 3,000 pounds"....what?!

it can fit 15 200 pound men, but not 26 14 year old cheerleaders?

and who gets on the elevator in a normal circumstance with 15 people?

 

[alaskakid]

I laughed so hard when I heard that on our radio. cheerleaders...

 

[.SteezusChrist.]

the probably spent time doing myspace camera angle shots

 

[SKIDUBAIGUY]

Do they have security cameras in elevators? That footage would be epic.

 

[Luc.]

garunteed some freaky shit went down all up in that bitch.

 

[pianoman]

lump sum of IQ: 37

 

[the-big-lepowski]

the article was incomplete- 26 cheerleaders and 1 guy in the middle. He climbed up the shaft right before the repairmen arrived. Don't ask me how I know this.

 

[powderstash]

I would like to be in that elevator.

 

[tommihq]

How do you know that?

If i was there i def wouldnt have climbed out of there...

 

[VT_FLO]

your wrong. thats what i thought too, BUT! there is an exception.

glasses, enough said

 

[k-rob]

bahahahahaha, living up to the stereotype much?

 

[NaturalRotater]

damnnn i'd love to be stuck in there with em dumb teen cheerleaders thinking theyre probly gunna die = one thing =) =)

 

[BASS_PRO_SHOP]

well not all cheerleaders are skinny... maybe they looked at the sign and it went something like this... "omg tiffany, we are all like under 100 pounds we could totally like fit everyone in here!"

"lolz ya shauna! thats like totally a great idea! itll be like so funny!"

 

[k-rob]

they were from texas, soooo...the 14 year-olds probably weren't all that small haha

 

[popNfresh44]

i would have loved to be in the middle of that...for like half the time

 

[fsscott]

they are cheerleaders...

 

[Charles^stevens]

heard that on the radio today, funny shit, but something funnier, is that the greyhound buses had a slogen that was "you never here of bus rage" but they had to dump that cause of the attack on that greyhound.

 

[VT_FLO]

15 30,000 pound cheerleaders

 

[pianoman]

that sounds like the squad at my school

 

[Jibmaster_J]

way to bring up something totally unrelated and creepy...this thread was about a large number of young, scantely clad girls engaging in what can only be assumed as an erotic lesbian orgy and you bring up a dude cutting another dudes head off? no shame!

..just kidding, i heard that thing about the slogans too, pretty funny stuff

 

[Mr_Papageorgio]

lulz

 

[sirskizalot]

[eheath]

Seems like the perfect setup for a elevator orgy porn.
