Χρήστος Λάππας 25,411 Report post Posted April 10, 2012 A cable car in St Moritz broke down on Easter Sunday and everyone had to be winched to safety by helicopter. There were no injuries In a dramatic rescue operation. An investigation is underway. The Diavolezza cable car stopped during its climb to the top station at over 3,000m. Initial efforts to try to re-start the lift failed so it was decided to airlift out everyone inside by helicopter for safety reasons. The lift can take up to 107 people. Four helicopters were used in an operation that last more than two hours. The Swiss Air Rescue Service (REGA) carried out the operation and everyone, including women and children, were safely evacuated from the stricken cable car. Some skiers and snowboarders reportedly saw it as an adventure, others were scared as they were plucked from the lift. The cable car is three decades old but underwent a €3.7m re-fit earlier this winter as we reported earlier on PlanetSKI. A full investigation into the incident is underway. http://www.planetski.eu/news/3713 1 Quote Make Parnassos Great Again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Φαντάσου να γίνει κάτι τέτοιο στον Παρνασσό. Θα κρεμάμε κόσμο και κοσμάκη όλο το καλοκαίρι! Και μεταξύ μας ανάλογα περιστατικά δεν χωνεύονται εύκολα.
