Chargers players rescued from ‘inoperable elevator’ by Dallas firefighters

Some members of the Los Angeles Chargers had a harrowing Friday night.

The Chargers revealed on social media that ‘several’ players and other members of the team’s traveling party got stuck in an ‘inoperable elevator’ at the team’s Dallas-area hotel.

The situation required the intervention (and considerable effort) of the Dallas Fire-Rescue. Per the Chargers, Dallas Fire-Rescue helped everyone exit the stuck elevator through its ceiling panel and moved them into an operational elevator next to it.

‘The Los Angeles Chargers thank Dallas Fire-Rescue for their quick response, professionalism and substantial efforts in ensuring everyone’s safety,’ the team said in a statement.

It was not immediately clear how many players were involved in the situation, nor did the Chargers reveal their identities.
