Students rescued from broken carnival ride at school

0:00Well, there's been high drama at a school in Sydney's West. Students trapped on a carnival ride after it broke down mid-air. 16 children were stuck for more than an hour as a delicate rescue mission at Kemp's Creek played out, but no one was injured. At afternoon of fairground fun, but those on board this ride could feel something was wrong. Emergency services called to a Mayors Catholic College at Kemp's Creek just after 1230, when the disco show malfunctioned. It was over four metres was the highest person. It doesn't sound that much, but it's a big enough drop to hurt somebody seriously. Those who were trapped telling seven news the ride had been going fast before shaking and falling on one side. It was stuck for around an hour and a half as firefighters brought in a ladder platform

1:01to bring each of them down safely. Guys, you could expect a lot of them were quite afraid of being suspended in the air where they were. The fate was part of the school celebration marking a Mayors Day, a statement staff thanked emergency crews, saying the school was in immediate contact with the families of the students involved and provided updates. I guess they're all right now, I hope that's the main thing. Rescue crews say this ride has now been quarantined by local police awaiting the arrival of safe work investigators trying to get to the bottom of exactly what went wrong. The ride in mid-ride seemed to suffer a breakage or mechanical failure and that made it stop or get caught in the ride itself. A lucky escape for those on board and tonight a lot of questions for operators at Rodenny 7 News.
