Two people were stranded high in the air aboard a stalled fair ride in Miami, before rescue officials got them down.

A fire department spokeswoman says a call came in at 1:54 p.m. Tuesday to report the stalled ride at the Miami-Dade County Fair.

News footage showed the seemingly calm riders turned horizontally in their seats, with their feet dangling above the fairgrounds. Rescue workers were shown climbing into a cherry picker construction device and approaching the ride.

Several rescue units were dispatched.

The two people were stranded on the ride for about an hour.
