A terrifying experience in the air and rescue in the strangest way possible

Tourists lived a terrifying experience on board a “cable car” suspended over a mountainous region in northern India, after it was disrupted due to a technical problem.

A group of tourists were trapped in the cable car at an altitude of more than 300 meters, while they were listening to the charming views over the Parwano Timber Trail in the Shivalik mountain ranges of India.

The “cable car” carrying the tourists was disrupted due to a technical problem, which forced them to remain suspended in the air for more than an hour before an emergency team arrived to rescue them.
The tourists were surprised when the emergency team resorted to a rope that they had to dangle and descend to the bottom of the valley, the British newspaper “Sun” reported.

The newspaper quoted one of the tourists as saying that “going down the rope was difficult because of his advanced age,” while another attacked the Indian authorities as being responsible for saving them.

Commenting on the accident, Onkar Chand Sharma, Principal Secretary of the National Disaster Management Agency of the Himachal Pradesh state government, said: “18 people were stranded in two cable cars. Everyone was rescued.”
