Survivors recall harrowing ordeal in Pakistan cable car, operator arrested for ignoring safety warnings
Eight people, including six teenagers, were trapped in a cable car in Pakistan's Allai valley for 14 hours after two cables supporting the car snapped. It took a complex rescue operation involving helicopters and zip line experts to safely evacuate all passengers. The incident has drawn attention to the widespread use of makeshift cable cars in Pakistan's mountainous regions, which are often built with scrap metal and pose safety risks. Authorities have arrested the owner and operator of the cable car, while villagers are calling for improved transport infrastructure in the area.
