Stuck in a bookstore and shared with his friends online: An American tourist named David Wills entered the famous Waterstones bookstore, Trafalgar Square branch in London, and immersed himself in reading a book on the lower floor of the store.
At 9:00 PM, Wills decided it was time to leave the store, but then he discovered that the windows and doors were all locked. Wills had a telephone, but since he was a tourist, he didn't know who to call.
Wills did not lose his temper and sent a message on Twitter: "Pay here David, I'm locked in the Waterstones store in London." Wills attached a photo of himself behind the closed shutters of the store to the text.
In the hours that followed, Wills' message began to gain momentum and was shared by tens of thousands of people. Wills continued to communicate with people online, and after many minutes, the message finally reached Scotland Yard [the nickname for the London police], who arrived at the store and released him at 11 p.m.
Immediately after his release, Wills tweeted to his friends: "I am free." A spokeswoman for the store also issued a special statement: "We are pleased to announce that Mr. Wills has been released from the locked store. We thank you all for your concern and sharing.".
