July 18, 2014: People Stuck as Superman Tower of Power Ride Breaks Down

A number of people were stuck atop the Six Flags Superman Tower of Power ride in St. Louis yesterday, when the ride broke down for no apparent reason.

While nobody was injured, and the people were only stuck up on the ride for around 15 minutes, they were eventually rescued when the car was manually brought down by Six Flags staff.
