What a horrible way to go :(

Italy has a problem with maintenance of their cable car stock, think the last one was blamed on covid and routine maintenance not being carried out due to it, wonder what the excuse will be this time

yes also happened in 1998, in Cavalese

but that time was a collision with a military plane (which cut that cable)




i agree with Cherie in this case, could be a lack of maintenance with those cables, could very likely have been fatigue
