Three people are recovering after the elevator they were riding in malfunctioned and fell 26 floors.

It happened at the Fitzgeralds Hotel and Casino in downtown Las Vegas. Safety mechanisms prevented the elevator from hitting the ground floor.

Nine people were in the elevator at the time as well as a cart full of luggage. Fire officials think the elevator may have been overloaded when the accident happened.
