A family were trapped in the air for hours at a sky dining restaurant in India. Chief Minister of Kerala, Pinarayi Vijayan, said a family, including two children, and an employee were trapped in the platform of Sky Dining Hydraulic Lift in Idukki Pallivasal.

Firefighters climbed the platform which was stopped at 125ft with safety harnesses and rope and were able to rescue those who were trapped, Mr Vijayan added.
