6 tourists rescued after hours trapped in Hancock tower elevator in Chicago: 'It was a pretty precarious situation'

CHICAGO - It had been about an hour since the elevator suddenly stopped at the former John Hancock Center, two of its cables broken and six people trapped inside. All they knew was they were somewhere between the 95th floor and the lobby of Chicago's fourth-tallest building.

Another hour or more would pass before firefighters knocked through a brick wall on the 11th floor and helped the tourists to safety early Friday. Fire officials reported no injuries
