TWO dozen terrified travellers were trapped inside a packed Tube station lift for an hour and a half after the door jammed shut.
Today one of the passengers locked inside described her terror and called the lift “a tragedy waiting to happen”.
She also revealed how a little girl had to urinate in a plastic bag while another woman suffered a panic attack during the chaos.
The lift, at Elephant and Castle Tube station, cut out just before it reached the ground on the Tube level on Sunday evening.
“Their emergency door did not open as it was faulty and stuck,” she said.
London Fire Brigade were called and at around 7.30pm and the passengers were freed from the lift.
