Jerseydrew How awful for them. Hope they get rescued 🤞. Very scary. I always wonder about the safety of those things. Not something I’m too keen on going on.

Read the news this morning and all the children and adults have been rescued which was so nice to hear, a happy ending. But what a way to go to school. I have seen children trek and travel in different ways throughout the world, it’s amazing and our kids moan about a short walk.

I saw this and wondered why it took so long for it to get sorted, surely cable cars have a protocol in place for this situation

It's good news they were rescued.

I honestly never liked the idea of traveling in one of these things. :/

As a kid I wanted to go on a cable car experience that's in Andorra.

Now? Jeez, I'd have to know they're keeping up with maintenance and all.
