Coimbatore: 20 people stuck mid-air after sky dining lift fails
India
A sky dining experience in Coimbatore took a scary turn Tuesday night when a hydraulic lift broke down, leaving 20 people—including kids—stranded above ground.
Firefighters worked late into the night to bring everyone down safely.
Why it matters: safety gaps and repeat incidents
This isn't the first time something like this has happened; similar incidents have been reported elsewhere.
While the Coimbatore attraction had police permission after the organizer submitted PWD approvals, the Kerala venue was reported to be operating without a license, and the repeated malfunctions are making people question how safe these "dining in the sky" experiences really are.
After this latest scare, the ride is suspended until authorities check it again.
