Germany: Carnivalgoers rescued after being trapped on ride
Passengers became stranded high up in the air after a swing carousel malfunctioned in Hamburg.
Nearly two dozen carnival attendees were rescued after being trapped 25 meters in the air on a swing carousel ride at the Hamburger Dom carnival in central Hamburg on Tuesday night. The malfunctioning 70-meter ride came to a stop, leaving 23 passengers stranded. Firefighters arrived promptly, using ladders to guide each guest down individually. No one required medical assistance, but the ride remained closed through Sunday, the carnival's final day.
