Speaking from her residence in Santiago, 74-year-old Alicia Valdez Orellana tells the AFP what it was like to be stuck in her apartament building's elevator during the massive blackout that affected the majority of Chile on February 25. "I never imagined that I would be trapped in an elevator," she tells the AFP, a day after her rescue. The outage affected an estimated 95 percent of the South American country's 20 million people, with classes for some 300,000 pupils suspended and shops and offices shut. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
