More that 200 people trapped in the STL Arch

Whoops, more THAN 200 people trapped.

http://news.aol.com/story/_a/power-o...00010000000001

What a terrible terrible place to be stuck. The trams are very small, but seating up to around five people. It's worse than a regular elevator. Being up top is fun for a while, but not being packed in with over 100 people for several hours.

Glad it was just a power failure.

I was worried that we might have some "arch enemies."

Sorry.

Those trams were no picnic when they were working--I can't imagine being stuck in one for hours! Or at the top for hours. People getting stuck in the arch is probably one of my worst nightmares come true... now I will probably never go up again.

Although the "arch enemies" comment is pretty funny...

The one time I went into the arch, I started to have a serious case of claustrophibia in the tram. I was so freaked out about it, that I didn't even enjoy the view at the top, since I knew I had to ride one of those things back down.

I cannot imagine being stuck for hours in one. One more excuse to never go in that thing again.

I'm bummed. I thought the "arch enemies" comment would get at least a couple of boos.

Or even threats.

Trust me, DA, you don't need the reinforcement.
