Schilthorn Cable Car Rescue

A stranded cable car on the way to the top of Schilthorn in the Swiss Alps is evacuated by helicopter. No deaths or injuries. Good, clean fun. Well, except for that business about 3 minutes in.

    Considering that this is a terrifying situation to be held up in a box over 2200m above sea level, everyone seems to be in good spirits. Kudos to the rescue team!

    I was at the base with my dad when this happened. We saw it all happen from the ground. We would have been on that exact one if I hadn’t stopped to get a snack first! Really cool to see what happened inside, even though I’m only seeing this 6 years after.

    Oh hell no. I would need about four Xanax to manage this. Heights are not my friend and dangling on a helicopter cable is terrifying. I cannot believe nobody freaked out completely by the prospect of this. I was mortified riding a hot air balloon once. It is a long way down.

    I've been on that cable and planning to go again in January. Some people would pay good money for that helicopter ride. But some other people would be terrified. Good to see how smooth the evacuation was.

    We were also stuck on the mountain that day but decided to walk down from Birg. We saw the evacuation from the ground it looked scary. The walk was also scary being almost a vertical drop in places. An adventure all the same.

    You don't get stuck in a cable car and need to be helicoptered out of there on a piece of string and "consider yourself lucky" just because it was worse elsewhere. If you have toothache, do you "consider yourself lucky" because someone somewhere is worse off?

    I once got stuck like this on the Vitosha Mountain chairlift -- it happened during the descent somewhere between Goly Verkh (Treeline) and Bay Kristo, the lift just stopped in midair (I was over a deep valley at the time, maybe a few hundred feet AGL) and it was maybe the better part of an hour before it started moving again! TBH, it wasn't very scary, just boring to sit there and wait!
