A cable car plummeted to the ground and tumbled down a slope at a mountain resort in Italy’s Piedmont region. At least 14 people were killed. Rescuers struggled to reach the remote mountainside where the gondola fell. The only survivor is a child who is in a serious condition. » Subscribe to NBC News: http://nbcnews.to/SubscribeToNBC

Cable Car Plummets in Italy
That's what happens when the Italians lose their jobs in covid lockdowns and cant grease the polls.
but think of all the happy clients over the years … hhhmm
To have survived Covid 19 until now to just plunged to their deaths while vacationing. How can someone expect the unexpected??? ðŸ˜ÂÂ😠Bless their souls. Que cosa mas triste y espantosa a la vez.
ðŸ™ÂÂðŸ™ÂÂðŸ™ÂÂ
Hmm Wonder if some person of interest for some autocratic regime were on that cable car. Seems to be the trend these days.
Well definitely not going to Italy if they want to be cheap.
Our hearts go out to these folks, terrible tragedy. Bless the lone child survivor .
God bless the lives lost. I can't help but think this was terrorism when I heard half the car included Israel Nationalists.
Wrong car.
The answer my friend, is blowing in the wind, the answer is blowing in the wind. Happy Birthday Bob Dylan – turns 80 today!!! Though the flesh may pass, the soul lives on! and on!
car ride on the ground pulled by the cable that is higher , wheels on the car , fell trees to make a dirt track . mechanism to stop the car from rolling down if cable fails, not one big car but many one person cars or for families up to five ppl cars , some would not want to be in a car but just walking up with walking speed cable pull assistance holding a handlebar for that maybe pulling near straigth up , would be an easy walk. or could use bike , did it on a ski lift. . other wire maybe moving that holds a line for safety if big car in air and roof of it opens easy in middle if needed when it falls pps heads push roof open and ppl dangle on the safety line.. about rust. wonder if cable greased internally on assembly will it dry out over time, need solvent then thin floating grease to impregnate it that becomes more solid soon by drying, or is it enough to grease it well on outside how often , automaticy by every trip a little , weekly montly yearly would be too seldom mabe . cover w plastic to stp rain w not in use.for months. .deterioration occurred through two principal mechanisms, namely, external and internal fatigue, which is caused by bending over sheaves or drum windings and crushing, which is caused by multilayer drum spooling..finally a good idea, airbags , but not under the car but inside the car under the people, airbags maybe too complex but just a thick floor made from soft but stiff enough bouncy material and the car would have to be higher or rather lower to accomedate for it . so car would hit hard but ppl wuld not feel that hardness of fall cos then right after ppl would hit floor that has a semi hard plate but moves down when hit, and all should have a helmet. sides roof could be soft build too if hit too. but cable holder on top of car is maybe heavy , might it turn car on way down . so try to design car to be falling straight down without turning , maybe some plates on top part to grab air act as stabeliser fins or tiny parachutes . maybe weigts under floor but thats not so good more tenison and costs of transport or .jæi
That is so sad about that accident and those deaths and it probably could have been prevented if more maintenance had been done on the system while the country was in a lockdown due to the COVID virus.
The ceaseless gear phylogentically pull because scene pertinently place barring a fabulous mailbox. languid, imperfect thumb
Probably the maintenance has no budget this year since they got overriden by Handling Coronavirus and Corruption.
11 I have seen something further under the sun, that the swift do not always win the race, nor do the mighty win the battle, nor do the wise always have the food, nor do the intelligent always have the riches, nor do those with knowledge always have success, because time and unexpected events overtake them all.
They will blame's corona
Why should we care in America. F their globalist agenda.
Matt Bradley needs to read a script as if he were telling a story to just one other person rather than reading it as if he were hosting a game show. The story is dramatic enough. He doesn't need to hype it a breathy read.
Perhaps because Italy has not "cracked down" on those dock workers who blocked that arms shipment to that mass murderer regime. Money isn't the only motivator.
only a id would drive on this trash

"NORMALLY SAFE" SO HOW ARE THEY ONLY "NORMALLY" SAFE
THAT POOR CHILD WILL LIVE WITHOUT ITS PARENTS
I AM FURIOUS AT ANY COUNTRY THAT DOES NOT PROTECT THEIR CITIZENS & NON CITIZENS
Passenger: "Yeah, looka the pretty lake! Ees so byootiful! I'm so glad I saved up for this vaca—-AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" (Silence)
Manga into a river!😂
Sounds like safety was not followed correctly… I mean everything needs to be checked and reviewed.
So if a drunk driver kills someone it ruins their life. What happens when the city or state fails 14 people? We all just move on?
Getting so the best vacation is a subway ride to Coney Island. Opps, nix that.
So sad for the people who lost their life.
Not good.
Nothing on what the possible cause could be. What poor reporting.
my absolute worst fear.
I don't like riding in those.
Those American soldiers straight murdered 20 people, then tried to destroy evidence, because they were filming it. They aren’t in prison.
awful
The cable car that fell back in 1998 that they were talking about was terrible. Here is a link to a video explaining what happened. Beware though, as it is graphic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Ez9GPmbtWc
God bless these people..
But please pray for gun violence, war, and victims of the oppressed, everywhere
Wow one child survived so scary
