Tourists trapped 150 feet high during sky dining in Munnar; steps being taken to bring them down
MUNNAR: Tourists got trapped in the sky dining near Munnar in Idukki. The official explanation is that five including tourists and employees, have been trapped for an hour and a half. Viewers said more people are trapped. Steps are underway to bring them down. The present situation is due to the blown fuse of the crane.
This is a new system where you can eat food in the sky. It was implemented at Anachal in Idukki as part of adventure tourism. It started a few months ago. 16 people can climb at a time. The crane will be used to raise the craft to a height of more than 150 feet. You can spend about half an hour here. You can enjoy the aerial views while eating.
It is reported that the craft cannot be lowered due to technical problems with the crane. Security and fire forces have been sent to the spot from Munnar. Authorities say that no one will fall down as there are seat belts and other safety systems. It may take a long time to fix the fuse. Therefore, efforts are being made to lower the trapped people down using ropes.
