Barney the Dinosaur embarks on an adventure by taking a ride in an undergr= ound parking garage elevator "Oh don't worry kids, we have a few hours befo= re the hurricane makes landfall." Barney then rides the elevator when there is a bang, a jolt, and a flicker= , and the cab slowly decends down past the lowest underground level and com= es to rest at the bottom of the shaft. Because of mismatched construction p= lans between the shaft and the garage that was supposed to have a 4th under= ground level that was never built, the bottom of the shaft is deeper than n= ormal to accomodate the non existent level. The roof hatch is sealed from t= he outside to stop potential vandalism and elevator surfing related lawsuit= s, and the doors open up to a blank concrete wall. Several hours after Barney tries to get "Mister Elevator Repair Man" to co= me help him out his quagmire over the non working emergency phone, and ring= ing the bell no one hears because everyone had evacuated, the Cat-5 hurrica= ne makes landfall. All power goes out, and Barney soon feels something wet = on his feet. The elevator is filling with water, and the level soon gets up= to his chin, and then all the way to the top of the cab and beyond. 2 days after the hurricane passed, they are still pumping out the complete= ly submerged underground parking and not long after they find Barney's bloa= ted purple corpse in the steel elevator cab.
