Drone video shows how perilous the situation was for those stranded in the Pakistan cable car
Footage exclusively obtained by the BBC shows people huddling together in the stranded cable car.
Bruh those people mustve been so annoyed by that drone lol
I'm not even going to watch it exactly for this cringe feeling
"The owner of the cable car company in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province was later arrested by police on multiple charges including negligence and endangering valuable lives."
... Are some some lives that aren't valuable?
From my knowledge of Pakistan, women or anyone not ethnically Pakistani. They would not be valuable lives.
WOW, Your Ignorance and Discrimination amazes me. I myself am a Pakistani, and I have no love for it. But what you say is wrong. You're saying No Woman's life is valued in Pakistan? How can that even be possible? and it's a bad place for women to be, there are definitely better places. It, however, is not as Black and White as your comment makes it out to be. It's not like some barbarian country where Woman are raped, and Killed everyday, on the streets or something. I would also request you to educate yourself that Pakistani is not an ethnicity, it's a nationality. Sindhi, Punjabi, Pashtun, and Baloch are some of the ethnicities found in Pakistan. So, you read one Negative News Headline, you've just made up your mind that Pakistan is full of savages and barbarians. Dear, sir, Please educate yourself, and don't be so discriminationatory.
...sheesh. 😬
Maybe it's just poor wording that implies life in general is valuable?
Christ - 15 hours like that!
Oh wow, that’d give me a heart attack.
Holy shit! 😮
Looking at the overall state of the thing...I think they knew they were rolling the dice hoping for a non-critical failure role.
Why would you ever enter something so obviously underdesigned and unsafe?
Because the alternative is a 3 hour climb down into the valley and up another mountain to get to school.
But yes, this was a death trap from the beginning. Hopefully they learned some lessons from this and get actually qualified people to build a new one.
Misread perilous as "hilarious" first, and the first glance at the photo didn't immediately dispell this.
I'll show myself out.
I sincerely hope that for people who rely on these cable cars that this doesn't merely bring attention to their issue, but funding and engineers to construct and operate reliable cable car services. I don't know what the costs are, but I cannot imagine they are so expensive that this problem can be neglected any further for the people who endured this or others who have to put up with something similar.
oh my god
I would look equally scary even it if was hanging on two cables.
