Approximately 15 members of the Los Angeles Chargers, including players and personnel, were trapped in an elevator at The Westin hotel in downtown Dallas on Friday night. Dallas Fire-Rescue responded and successfully evacuated the stranded individuals through a ceiling panel into a nearby working elevator after initial attempts by a technician failed. The incident occurred around 7:30 p.m. and everyone was safely rescued by 10:30 p.m. The Chargers expressed gratitude to the fire department for their prompt and professional assistance. This event happened a day before their final preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium. Despite the scare, the team is prepared to face off against the Cowboys on Saturday afternoon.
