HUD Secretary Dr. Ben Carson, Others Unhurt After Being Trapped Inside Overtown Housing Complex Elevator
Carson and several others were stranded for about 15 minutes before firefighters freed them
Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson and his wife were trapped in an elevator during a visit to a Miami affordable housing complex Wednesday. The incident occurred while Carson was touring the Courtside Apartments, an affordable housing complex in the city's Overtown neighborhood.
The couple and several others were on their way to meet residents when their elevator became stuck, grounding the group for about 15 minutes before firefighters freed them just before 9 a.m.
"Well, we got all of our questions answered," Carson joked as he stepped out of the elevator.
