Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson got stuck in an elevator Wednesday during a visit to a public housing complex in Miami.
Reporters at the scene tweeted video showing firefighters trying to free Carson and his wife from the elevator at Courtside Family Apartments.
He was in the elevator for about 20 minutes, according to Rene Rodriguez, a reporter for the Miami Herald.
Retired NBA player Alonzo Mourning was also on-site, but not stuck with Carson in the elevator.
“Alonzo Mourning looks more relieved than anyone,” Rodriguez tweeted after Carson was freed.
