Cable railway debacle in Bezau: Passengers captured-rescue at a standstill!

Bezau, Österreich - in Bezau there was a dramatic incident with a cable car when the gondola held in the middle of the route due to a technical defect. About twelve people were caught in the gondola, including older people who were unable to deal with the descent on foot. "We were on the train and then she drove down very slowly," reports a passenger. Although the gondola was gradually brought into the valley, it stopped again, which caused passengers in fear and uncertainty. Eyewitnesses describe that there was no information for the passengers because there were no announced announcements, so that some had to be informed about the situation via cell phones, such as Vol.at reported.

The rescue workers faced the challenge of getting a 90-year-old man safely from the mountain station into the valley. Fortunately, there was hope that it could be evacuated with the help of a helicopter or the gondola. However, some passengers, younger and fitter, were able to reach the middle station on foot and were picked up by cars. Others were transported into the valley with a police helicopter. Despite the more tense situation, the mood among the passengers remained surprisingly quiet, and many showed themselves calmly, even the older passengers.
