AP - LAS VEGAS - Two thrill-seekers got a little more fright last night than they bargained for when the Stratosphere hotel-casino's newest ride malfunctioned.
The girls -- ages 19 and 11 -- spent more than an hour dangling on the "Insanity" ride about nine hundred feet above the Las Vegas Strip.
The ride swings out over the edge of the tower platform and spins riders at the end of finger-like mechanical arms.
Initial reports are that it stopped mid-ride due to gusty winds.
Technicians were eventually able to pull the main brace back to the tower platform after one o-clock.
Neither girl was hurt.

I think you are a conflicted young man, you profess to have all this love in your heart for helping people and missionary work etc.. I might get blasted for this comment, I just wonder how you can have such a negative outlook on most things and yet be the humanitarian you claim to be..Originally posted by AggieJohn

Isn't it strange that after a bombing everyone blames the Crazy Azz bomber(s), but after a shooting the problem is the gun?

No, it's not "his" visual interpretation. It's probably an actual engineering computer mock-up. In this day and age, engineers are able to "build" parts inside computers that can be put together and looked at as a whole product. I know, it's what I do daily.Originally posted by AggieJohn
