Nightmare

Yesterday afternoon the trams that shuttle people from East Midtown to Roosevelt Island stopped working during rush hour. 69 people were trapped in the trams dangling over the East River for about 12 hours. They were rescued by leaving the tram (still suspended over the river) and stepping into another hanging gondola-type thing. So not cool. I've never taken the tram, which supposedly offers great views of the City. And believe me, I have no immediate plans to take a ride.
