Sixteen people, including seven children and one baby, were rescued after being trapped for four hours on gondolas high above the water when a ride stopped in high winds at SeaWorld.

The rescue crews used harnesses to lower the passengers to waiting lifeboats in the bay, according to the San Diego Fire Department (SDFD), after the Bayside Skyride was halted due to a gust of wind.
