The workers became stuck in an external elevator about 150 feet up a 200-foot high dry cement storage silo on the 2100 block of East 130th Street.
The workers were stuck inside the malfunctioning elevator for more than an hour before Chicago Fire Department rescue crews used a large telescoping boom lift with a cherry picker to reach them.
Rescue crews were able to open the elevator doors and carefully remove the two workers before bringing them back to the ground shortly before 11 a.m. Neither worker was injured, but both were evaluated by emergency medical teams once they were down from the elevator. According to the Fire Department, the cause of the elevator malfunction appeared to be electrical in nature.
Rescue crews are working to free two workers trapped in an elevator on the outside of a grain silo on Chicago’s Far South Side. STREAMING LIVE: http://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/live© 2022 CBS Broadcasting Inc. All Rights Reserved.Please enter email address to continue
