Well at least it would go dark at night in them and you could be seen.

I wonder if he had a pee through opening the doors and peeing in the gap, I'm sure that would work and he did spend a while opening them doors?

I was thinking that.. perhaps it's a wall or something and when he gets rescued it has moved up..?

Anyway, gutter for that bloke.

when he opens the doors, he looks up or down so i think it wasnt at a floor

He opens the doors and it's a wall so he can't get out. It's obvious they know he's in there since you see people trying to look though the gap of the other lifsts
