This photo provided by Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto on Thursday, May 19, 2016 shows Peduto posing with two paramedics in Pittsburgh. Peduto got stuck in the Westin Hotel elevator Thursday evening along with the mayors of Millvale and Leetsdale. They had been attending a meeting of the Allegheny League of Municipalities. It wasn't clear how they'd get out because none of the mayors, and a couple others stuck along with them, could get cellphone service. One of the stranded passengers worked at the hotel and was able to summon maintenance crews and first responders using a walkie-talkie.(Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto via AP)
