I am sure they said the car could hold 40 so it was nowhere near capacity, probably due to social distancing? so many more lives saved maybe
from the link Corriere della Sera said rescue efforts have been made more difficult by the fact that the cabin, which has a capacity of 40, fell into a wood in an inaccessible area.

That's scary, It would make me think twice about getting in one of those things in future (even though I know this was probably a freak occurrence)

Yes, I don't think they're safe and I won't be getting in another one.

You have to wonder if the months of disuse from lockdown has affected normal maintenance...

No I think some emergency back up brakes were disabled, two people were arrested at the time

i think the long lay off won't have helped for sure. I expect to see a lot more maintenance related issues appearing over the summer. Another good reason not to head abroad this year

Italy's public broadcaster Rai has faced strong criticism for airing leaked CCTV footage of a fatal cable car crash that killed 14 people.
The cabin is seen nearing its final stop before suddenly rearing up, then speeding back down the mountain and crashing to the ground. The prosecutor in the case spoke of "the absolute inappropriateness" of publishing the footage. The head of Rai TV said he was "deeply shocked" by the decision to show it. Five families were on board the car when it crashed, including two children who were among the dead. Five-year-old Eitan Biran was the sole survivor when the main cable holding the car snapped on 23 May. He lost his parents and two-year-old brother, originally from Israel, and his great grandparents. Prosecutors say the emergency brake, which could have prevented the accident, had been intentionally disabled. The car reversed at over 100km/h (62mph) on a support cable, passing a support pylon and then plummeting to the ground and rolling down the mountain. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-57510661 |

The footage is pretty horrifying. So close to making it to safety and then it all goes wrong. There cant have been any survivors.

I’m glad the footage was released. I never understood how crazy this was. I though it had just fallen off the cables at the time
