I saw a reference to that yesterday. Didn't click.

I won't even take the tram to Roosevelt Island. It's never dangled like that, but it did get stuck out over the East River for about 4 hours some years ago. Nope.

Yikes. Bet that white suit didn't stay white for long. Glad it all turned out okay.

Good day to wear the brown pants.

Wild guess-- staring into the eyes of people who think they may be about to die is not your preferred form of entertainment?

I used to run the elevator (push the buttons) at the Tower in San Antonio. Got stuck a couple of times. But I had read how OTIS elevators have an automatic brake system, so I was not worried.

Decades later, I'm on the Albuquerque-Sandia Tram, and I find myself controlling my breath (to avoid hyperventilating). My then 5 year old daughter was amazed that I was not relaxed. We had about 1000 feet of air between us and the mountain below.
