The Chargers expressed their gratitude towards Dallas Fire-Rescue for their prompt action, proficiency, and significant efforts in maintaining everyone's wellbeing.
Various clips shared on social media platform X, previously recognized as Twitter, depicted numerous fire engines with their emergency lights still activated, stationed outside One Main Place in Dallas – a lofty high-rise building housing a Westin Hotel and additional facilities.
Initially, an elevator specialist attempted to rectify the malfunction, as reported by CNN affiliate WFAA, but ultimately, Dallas Fire-Rescue mobilized its Urban Search and Rescue team.
WFAA further revealed that a count of 15 individuals were trapped inside the elevator in a "dark shaft," placed somewhere between floors 3 and 15 of the hotel.
