Rescue. We were looking at a Fire Department bucket truck and a ladder and a crane. The bucket option has been the one that worked. Once they remove the harness to get somebody out, all of the harnesses up. So they secured everyone and then started to get them out. Its a slow deliberate process to bring the people down. Part of the probe is when you release a restraint on the individual cars, everybody in that car is then in a released position. We cant allow that to happen. So each one of the people in the cars is going to get harnessed and strapped into position so that when we release the rides restraint, then we can take the people out one by one into that bucket. Reporter so that is going to take a while. They do say they got to the folks, got them some water. Some people were in a an upright position and some were sideways. They got water for them and provided sub light. They have lights if it goes on beyond the sunset. But they do think theyll be able to get the people out in the time before the dark comes. These rides are inspected daily. They will inspect it to see exactly what hoond here. Were told there is a computer control that will stop these cars if theres a problem that they dont know what happened. The focus right now is to get folks down. The park remains hope. People can come and go. But of course the jokers jinx isnt right now. Right now were at six flag. Derek, quick question. I know youre able to talk to the firefighters on the scene. What are the folks how are they fairing out there. Anybody in any distress or are they taking this in stride . Reporter theyre taking it in stride. One of the first thing they did when they got up there was to make sure everybody was medically stable. They got them water and they got them shade. Im told at some point when the chopper got up there people were waving at them. Nobody was up it looks like theyre in good spirit, as good as they can be for being stuck 80 feet up in the hour for four hours now. But it looks like theyll be getting down relatively soon.
