What an absolute tragedy, cutting corners and greed again to blame. Myself and Mrs TJ sat sipping a Morretti watching that cable car 3 summers ago. It looked a very gentle and sedate trip up the mountain side. Nothing coming out of the initial report made sense, 14 deaths for a cable car that fell 20m, broken bones and concussion definitely, but 14 fatalities. The details coming out now are harrowing, brakes deliberately tampered with by the operating company, just to keep operating, resulting in the carriage going backwards down the mountain at speeds of over 60mph. It must have been absolutely terrifying. The poor surviving child who lost his entire family, how do you recover from that. RIP x | |
