Several people became trapped in elevators Thursday evening after a power interruption affected parts of Ottawa. All told, elevators at seven different locations were reported to have stalled. Everyone was eventually freed and there were no injuries, although some of the stranded elevator passengers were "distressed" by the experience, Ottawa Fire Services said in a media release. "Sometimes people are maybe in a rush, or they feel that they really, really need to get out," Cardinal said. Cardinal said stranded passengers should call the phone number posted inside the elevator, as well as calling 911.
