Police Free 26 Cheerleaders From Elevator
By Wyatt Earp | August 8, 2008
Why couldn’t I ever get a radio call like this?
Police 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. (H/T – The Dallas Morning News)
The story goes on to state that the girls “wiggled” some cell phones free to call for help. I passed out after reading that, and have just recently been revived. Heh.

Deanna – Not me! Read the story! I’m just pointing out the funny . . . and dreamy.

We have cheerleader camp in the university where I work. Those girls are all so tiny they could probably fit a couple of hundred in one elevator, and they are so loud they probably didn’t need a cell phone to yell for help.

I wonder if they developed a cheer routine and to keep up their spirits?

Ky person – I figured they could have notified the police by cheering for them.
RT – “Ready? Okay!”
