Council boss trapped in Spinnaker
Advertisements [?]
A man was trapped in the lift of Portsmouth's Spinnaker Tower for more than an hour - on the day the troubled structure finally opened to the public.

The external glass lift jammed 33ft (10m) up trapping the city council's project manager, David Greenhalgh, who later apologised for the breakdown.

Abseiling engineers were called to fix the lift and release Mr Greenhalgh.

Problems with the lift earlier delayed the opening of the tower, which is five years late and £11.1m over budget.
