As of 10:30 p.m. PST, crews had rescued 14 people from the Bayside Skyride, which stalled when heavy winds "tripped a circuit breaker" more than three hours earlier, KSWB reported. Two people were still trapped on the ride's gondolas, the San Diego Fire Department said.
KSWB said some of the gondolas were over Mission Bay when the ride stopped working. Those trapped were "lowered by harnesses & rescued by [San Diego Lifeguards] boats," the Fire Department tweeted.
