Chicago, the city that (DOESN'T) work - Power outage stalls Navy Pier’s new Ferris wheel on opening day

Navy Pier’s new Ferris Wheel opened to the public Friday morning to great fanfare and an electrical glitch — some 100 people got stuck airborne for about 30 minutes after a power outage Friday night.

The Centennial Wheel was opened to the public at around 11:30 am. Friday, and saw some 8,000 to 10,000 riders throughout the rainy day, before the 8 p.m. incident. About 100 people were stranded in mid-air when the electricity went out, officials said. The electricity returned within a half hour, and riders disembarked safely, officials said.
