Gondola Crash at Swiss Ski Resort Injures

0:00On March 18th, a gondola broke free from its cable at Titlisky Resort in Switzerland on Wednesday, tumbling down a snowy slope and seriously, injuring at least one person. The crash happened around 11 a.m. local time in Obwaldon, Canton, high above the mid station. Strong winds over 80 kilometers per hour battered the area, likely causing the detachment as some lifts kept running despite the gusts. Onlookers described the cabin jerking loose before flipping and rolling downhill, with emergency crews rushing in to help. Rescuers tried reviving someone for about 30 minutes and called in a helicopter, though exact injury numbers remain unclear. This comes just months after a cable car in Italy slammed into a station too fast, hurting six including a child and stranding 100 others. Until helicopters evacuated them, Swiss authorities are now probing what went wrong up there.
