Riders evacuated from Harry Potter's Escape from Gringotts

[ECG]

Oh the horror! :shock:

At least a dozen riders were rescued from the Harry Potter ride at Universal Studios, according to Orlando fire officials. Universal officials said a technical glitch "caused the ride to come to a safe stop."
Fire officials said they were attempting to rescue 12-15 riders from the Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts just before noon.
The riders were stuck at approximately 7 feet off the ground, fire officials said.
No injuries were reported.
Local 6 news helicopter Sky 6 flew over the park as fire trucks were parked outside of the 3D ride at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Diagon Alley.
Universal officials said just before 1 p.m. guests on the last vehicle of the ride were removed from the ride.
It's not clear if the ride was back open later on Monday.

Looks like Michelle Dendy was either on a really tight deadline or had nothing else to report on.

This is more intense than what happened on Nitro a few months back. I can hardly contain how scared I am.

I do radio speaking in competitive speech, and the general rule is "if it's not news, it's not your job to report it."

This is not news.
