I surmise what happened: it was just past midnight, when that route closes. They had entered that lobby just before the doors locked. But as the clock ticked past 12 it shut the lifts down. And the door. Due to this being specified wrong, the door locked both ways and they could not get out.
There was a button to connect to customer assistance, but it was on the other side of the glass doors. And, as mentioned, the phone number from a notice board didn’t work.
Just updated my phone. The screen that comes up manages to be an immediate example of poor design, as the button needed to get past this screen is hidden by the bottom row controls bar.
The statement "Your Pixel is up to date" is thus proven to be true, just probably not in the way it was intended to.

On Nov. 9, 1970, a 45-foot sperm whale had washed up on the beach near Florence, but as KATU reporter Paul Linnman noted at the time, it later became "a stinking whale of a problem. " Three days later, on Nov. 12, the dead whale exploded into history with what has been described as the first-ever viral news story. Watch the special remastered version of the original Exploding Whale report below:
