After 8 p.m. on the 22nd, there was a problem with the Tokyo Skytree elevator in Sumida Ward, Tokyo coming to an emergency stop, and it seems that about 15 people who were on board were trapped.
According to the Metropolitan Police Department, around 8:15 p.m. on the 22nd, there was a 110 call at Tokyo Skytree in Sumida Ward that "the elevator has stopped".
The elevator came to an emergency stop, and about 15 people on board are believed to be trapped.
There is also information that two elevators are parked and that they stopped at a height of about 30 meters, and the Metropolitan Police Department and the Tokyo Fire Department are confirming the situation and proceeding with rescue operations.
Very scary situation, they have been stuck since around 8:15pm and it's now after 11:30pm at the time of posting this. There are people stuck at the observation deck also.
I'm currently staying in Asakusa and was considering visiting Skytree. I hope they're all rescued safely soon.
