My last cable car experience was in Utah. It was scary enough just riding in it let alone having an accident in one. I can only imagine the real horror that took these people's hearts, it is amazing that they survived really despite needing surgery:

The trapped man was cut free by firefighters as an ambulance officer tended to him inside the car. He and Mr Spiers suffered cuts and bruises and were discharged from Hutt Hospital that night. Mrs Spiers and the family friend both needed surgery and remained in hospital yesterday. |
