A woman in her 60s was stuck in a hot glass elevator car in Changhua for 50 minutes before firefighters freed her, with no injuries.

• The elevator jammed between the second and third floors of the Huayang market parking building late Friday morning.
• The car has glass walls, so she waved to people on the street below for help.
• Firefighters lowered the car to the second floor and got her out around 11:30 a.m.
• She was drenched in sweat from the heat and drank bottled water as soon as she was free, but did not need a hospital trip.

Outlook: Officials are still checking why the elevator stopped, and the building may face an inspection of its equipment.
