'It has been nearly five hours since we are stuck mid-air,' a man stuck in the cable car told Pakistani television. ' ... One man has already fainted.'
Six teenagers and two adults were suspended inside a cable car dangling over a deep valley inThe teens were using the chairlift to cross the valley to get to school when a cable broke at a height of up to 1,200 feet midway through its journey in a remote, mountainous part of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
The incident happened around 7:00 a.m. local time, with residents using mosque loudspeakers to alert neighborhood officials across the Allai valley. Images broadcast on television show a Pakistan Army helicopter circulating near the gondola hanging over a deep ravine and surrounded by lush green mountains.
"The school is located in a mountainous area and there are no safe crossings, so it's common to use the chairlift," Khan said. "The scenes here are filled with intense emotions, parents and women are crying for the safety of their children," he told AFP.
