User blog:Bzero/Fairgoers Rescued by Flying Car

Seattle (KIRO-TV) - Troopers say no one was injured after a roller coaster car nearly went over the rails in at a fair in Washington last night. Witnesses say the power was cut in time to stop the car from crashing, and that the fairgoers on the ride were rescued by some sort of flying car.

Officers at the scene said that multiple people could have sustained serious injuries if the car had left the rails.

They say the brakes failed on one of the Comet II roller coaster cars and it continued to accelerate dangerously on the track.

Fair officials say the ride will remain closed until inspectors from the Department of Labor can do a full check.

"What will be investigated is how the braking system works, what the operators were doing, and how well the ride was working," says Fair spokesman Dave Bullard.
