Original Toronto Star caption: This cable car; where pleasure-seekers at the CNE can get a bird's-eye view of all the fun of Canada's largest exhibition became a prison last night when 39 visitors were trapped for several hours after a jammed cable stalled 15 cars and left them swaying 100 feet up. Firemen had two cherry-picker cranes ready for rescue within an hour; but when authorities discovered passengers were in no immediate danger they delayed rescue operations for repairs to the cable.
