It wasn't a scene in "Modern Family," but it could have been Friday night as cast mates Julie Bowen, Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Eric Stonestreet documented an entire hour they were stuck in an elevator together.

The three ABC sitcom stars were on their way to a charity event for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Kansas City when their crowded service elevator at the Sheraton Hotel jammed on the third floor.

And that's when they took to Twitter and Vine to document the experience.

At first, everything was going as planned as actor Jesse Tyler Ferguson tweeted:

But then:

This is us right now. 45 mins stuck in this elevator. twitter.com/jessetyler/sta…

And then the Twitpics turned to Vine videos:

Finally, Ferguson posted this video of the cast being rescued:

Finally made it out of the stuck elevator at the one hour mark. At least the firemen in K.C. are cute.yfrog.us/b8ddxoxjmewrgb…
