Greta Van Susteren gets trapped in Hanoi elevator that suddenly plunged four floors without warning. The good news is that Greta Van Susteren is fine. Van Sustern, Franklin Graham and others were able to pry the elevator door open and escape. But it was scary shit none-the-less. Wondering where Greta Van Susteren has been all week, not appear On the Record on Fox News channel?Van Susteren is with Reverend Franklin Graham and several charity workers for Samaritan’s Purse charity in Asia. Earlier in the week she was in Cambodia. Now she’s in Vietnam. Greta Van Susteren even made a video of them all being trapped in the elevator and getting the door pried open:

We had just reached the 24th floor when the elevator stopped for no apparent reason….then jerked and jerked…and falling and jerking …and falling and jerking until it stopped. We were all quite rattled as we did not know if it would continue to fall and we had no idea if the cable holding the elevator car was broken and if there were any back up system (this is an oldish building in Vietnam.)
One of us pulled the door apart only for all of us to see the worst — just a solid cement wall. That was really bad news. Then the elevator car started to slip further down and of course we had no idea where that was headed — I feared we were going to break loose and go all the way down which would have been a certain death for all of us. As the elevator car slid down, we made calls and tried pushing all the buttons on the panel.
Suddenly, one of our group noticed some light and pulled the doors open again and this time we had about a 2 foot crawl space. We made a mad scramble to get out and drop to the floor (the 24th). Franklin later told me he feared the elevator would drop again as one of us was getting out which would have meant a certain death for that person. We all made it safely out….walked up the steps to our original destination of floor 32….and then when we left, none of us took the elevator. We walked down 32 flights.
