The ordeal occurred due to an electrical issue that caused the cable car system to stop, lasting nearly 10 hours until the problem was resolved. 48 people were stuck at the highest point of the cable car, approximately 4,000 meters above sea level.
Eventually, all individuals were rescued, some being carefully lowered to the ground using ropes and others returning to safety within their cabins. Videos shared on social media showcased the coordinated efforts and professionalism of the rescue team during the operation.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
