Re: Italy: 14 Dead After Cable Car Plunges to the Ground Near Mottarone Summit
No safety brakes? Back to the drawing boards. Got to figure out how to fit more people inside.

Re: Italy: 14 Dead After Cable Car Plunges to the Ground Near Mottarone Summit
A translation from the news video: Cabin number 13 slowly approaches to the Mottarone arrival station with 15 people on board, in the first row are little Eitan and his father together with two women, the other faces cannot be seen. At twelve, twelve minutes and 20 seconds what no one could have ever imagined happens, the cabin rears up showing the bottom, the cable is broken, the blow is so strong than no one could have remained standing, the cabin goes faster and faster, but the distance to get to the other tower is long, hundreds of meters, the tower acts as a trampoline for the arm of the cabin and comes off and leaps into the void, the impact on the ground can't be seen, it is the steepest part of the terrain. From another angle, an internal station camera, the employee raises his head for a moment as if noticing something wrong, it happens in a flash, the cable breaks. The employee runs terrified by the scene, trying to pick up a radio or cell phone to call for help, but it is already too late, he can no longer do anything to activate the braking system. This video was recorded by the carabinieri (police) from a monitor in the recording facility on the day of the incident and it is in the records for the investigation, it will be necessary to ascertain the causes of the accident. Cheers!  |
