18 people were rescued from an elevator shaft Monday afternoon at 31st and Mercier in Kansas City, Missouri.
Some of the people who were trapped were treated for dehydration after being rescued, according to a Kansas City, Missouri Fire Department spokesperson. It's not yet known how long they were stuck in the elevator.
The elevator is part of Dean's Downtown Underground, which offers commercial space in a former mine below Kansas City.
One of the people stuck in the elevator said there were two groups of international students going down into the caves to rock climb.
One person stuck in the elevator said it was so hot inside, people were unconscious.
Officials have yet to say if they know why the group became stuck in the elevator.
