This is very scary and yet they have to do this in their daily commute to school.
Cable snaps.
Weight for two cables is now on one cable.
Rescue Plan A: one kid saved by helicopter before dark.
Rescue Plan B: Send another weight in form of a man on that very cable.
I would’ve died from a heart attack.
This image is horrible. Being stuck there and all you see while trying not to die, is a news broadcast drone recording you for the live stream, to display everyone your misery and possibly fall to death.
Are we going to talk about the two dudes pulling themselves along on that open platform??
They’re not trapped, the door is wide open. They just don’t want to get out on account of their altitude.
Mofo in the back just browsing on their phone. “Welp looks like we’ll be here a while, time to clean out those old emails!”
Not like you can do much else whilst awaiting rescue, to be fair.
They should call doppelmayr and get some proper hardware installed… every single ski lift in Austria is better equipped…
Why the fuck would anyone get in that thing in the first place? Look at it!
It’s 4 minutes of this or 4 hours one way to commute
4 minutes in a deathtrap vs. 4 hours not in a deathtrap… doesn’t seem like it’s worth the time savings.

Depends on how much you want that job that could feed your family in town I suppose
Not going to be able to feed your family when you’re dead.
All I’m saying is they are not stupid. If their situation is desperate enough it’s worth the risk I can’t judge them.
I’m surprised not to see a dribble of piss and shit coming out of that thing, I know I would be evacuating if I was stuck up there…
The good thing you can do it down the line since is all open to the public.
Terrible day to wear your white pants for sure.
That is terrifying. The cable car looks like it was falling apart even before the cable snapped.
Wtf I didn’t know it was open like that
It’s only open for the poor
I can’t stand being in those things when they function correctly, I can’t imagine being in one in this shape.
This probably cements my resolve to never get in a cable car again though.
Are they trapped… if it’s part of their daily commute?
They are trapped now because it is derailed but before it derailed it was still terrifying because it is a Rusty metal bucket on a string.
As sketchy is the car itself looks, how cool is it that we can literally fly a harness up to them by drone for the zipline to the ground? Yes, they used military helos, but that all could have been delivered by drone, then winched up to the helo. Interesting times.
I realize it’s a video but that’s the picture of the year right there.
Yeah, you wouldn’t be able to force me to ride on that. What is that? TucTuc cargo bed with cheap pulleys and someone’s front gate as doors?
