Bruh those people mustve been so annoyed by that drone lol
“The owner of the cable car company in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province was later arrested by police on multiple charges including negligence and endangering valuable lives.”
… Are some some lives that aren’t valuable?
From my knowledge of Pakistan, women or anyone not ethnically Pakistani. They would not be valuable lives.
…sheesh. 😬
Maybe it’s just poor wording that implies life in general is valuable?
Christ - 15 hours like that!
Oh wow, that’d give me a heart attack.
Holy shit! 😮
Looking at the overall state of the thing…I think they knew they were rolling the dice hoping for a non-critical failure role.
Got to feel sorry for them though. At the moment their choices are shitty cable car or don’t get an education.
Indeed. Let’s at least hope this incident releases some funds for a proper connection so the choice is easier.
Yes, I hope so.
So far the person who owns the cable car has been arrested, not sure how that is going to help.
It makes safety cheaper than what happened here.
Why would you ever enter something so obviously underdesigned and unsafe?
Because the alternative is a 3 hour climb down into the valley and up another mountain to get to school.
But yes, this was a death trap from the beginning. Hopefully they learned some lessons from this and get actually qualified people to build a new one.
I sincerely hope that for people who rely on these cable cars that this doesn’t merely bring attention to their issue, but funding and engineers to construct and operate reliable cable car services. I don’t know what the costs are, but I cannot imagine they are so expensive that this problem can be neglected any further for the people who endured this or others who have to put up with something similar.
Misread perilous as “hilarious” first, and the first glance at the photo didn’t immediately dispell this.
I’ll show myself out.
oh my god
I would look equally scary even it if was hanging on two cables.
