DALLAS — About 100 people were rescued Saturday by firefighters after a monorail at the Dallas Zoo stopped operating because of an unspecified malfunction.
Dallas Fire Rescue spokesman Jason Evans said no one was injured.
Television stations in Dallas reported that the train was 15-20 feet off the ground when it stopped.
That height is among the lowest the train reaches during the 20-minute tour.
Firefighters responded to a 911 call about 3:30 p.m. after the train stopped moving.
Evans said an unspecified malfunction occurred.
He said as many as five extension ladders at a time were used to remove the passengers.
