For years I would no go up into the Arch in St. Louis for this very reason.
About 200 people were trapped inside the 630-foot Gateway Arch for about two hours after an apparent power outage, authorities said.
I finally went up about 10 years ago. It was great!
The power went out around 8:45 p.m. Saturday night, stalling two trams filled with about 40 people each,...
Now this I don't understand. The "car" we went up in held only 4-6 people, depending on the size of the person. A very little car, quite claustrophic.
