Irish nun trapped in elevator in Rome for three days

A 58-year-old Irish nun visiting Rome was trapped in an elevator for three days after it got stuck between floors in an empty building.

She was descending to the ground floor with a 68-year-old nun from New Zealand last Friday when they became trapped between floors in the Marist Sisters Home, which hosts members of religious missions who travel through Rome.

The pair were without food or water for three days.
