2 stranded in the air on stalled Miami fair ride

MIAMI — Two people are stranded high in the air aboard a stalled fair ride in Miami, and rescue officials are trying to get them down.

A fire department spokeswoman says a call came in at 1:54 p.m. Tuesday to report the stalled ride at the Miami-Dade County Fair.

News footage showed the seemingly calm riders turned horizontally in their seats, with their feet dangling above the fairgrounds. Rescue workers were shown climbing into a cherry picker construction device and approaching the ride.

Several rescue units have been dispatched.

The ride stalled about two hours after the fair had opened for the day. The fair began on Thursday and lasts until April 11.
