CNN Video Shows Dramatic Rescue of Woman Stuck on Vertical Drawbridge

A breast cancer walk participant in Florida became trapped on an upright drawbridge Saturday morning and had to be rescued after holding on for dear life for almost an hour.

CNN aired video this morning of the unidentified 55-year-old woman gripping the rail beneath her from at least 22 feet in the air. She was on a railway drawbridge that is explicitly closed off to trespassers. Apparently she’d attempted to access the bridge in order to take some photographs of the local scenery.

Watch video of the rescue below, via CNN:
