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.

"please send picture to me!" "Bye!" lol Bravo to the rescue team and operators. they did an amazing job keeping the people calm!
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.

at 5:52 theres an unconscious person. i wonder if it was the fear that made them pass out or if they did have to be sedated
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.
Hats off to the Swiss and their superb training and organisation. Defining moment @ 4:39, humour in the face of adversity.
Really great, excellent cable car rescue operation, congratulations to all rescue workers 🙏
Wow, what a fun experience and all for FREE!
We rode this in October 2014. Glad I did not see this video beforehand
Was on Peak-to-Peak at Whistler today, wondering how they'd evacuate us if we got stuck. Now I Know. Thanks for the video!
One of the more cooler things I've seen lately.
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.

Susan Thompson338 the walk from Birg Is not that steep, but yes it is an adventure hiking down! :)
Oofff that looks scary. Although rather there than a rescue from the Stechelberg. That’s one daunting cable car when it’s working ok 😳
Fantastic effort of the team. Feel safer now, seeing their dedication to rescue.
The helicopter just drops you at the front door to the lawyers office…
OMG. Thank God I didn't go through this when I went to Schiltorn.
That looked like SO MUCH FUN!!
If there’s any place you want this to happen, it’s Switzerland…
The ride of a lifetime right there!
Brilliant camera work. Excellent watch. 👍
Can't believe this only has 77k views so far. Holy moly that looks scary af to endure.
I ones was evacuated from a chairlift. That was nothing over 10 meters. This is far more spectacular!!
Watch that first step! Brilliant clip, and thanks for sharing it.
Kudos to the well trained Swiss crews who rescued these people. Consider yourself lucky. There was a cable car 🚡 in another country where the outcome was not good. The car separated from the machinery and plummeted to the ground.

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?
It’s like hitting 2 birds in one shot you pay for cable car plus a extreme ride...
Good job Rescue Team
Shoutout to those rescue personnel and the pilots.
lucky people had the ride of their life! wish I was there
I would think they would charge extra for an adventure like that.

Please, can I pay for an experience like that? lol
Great video ;-)
It looks like great fun
Wild!

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!

I would be cool as a cucumber and telling everyone to stay calm and don't freak out -- at least at first (but probably after an hour or so, I'd be more like "Oh come on, when will they get that clunker fixed at last?")
nice job Sami!
I'm in there!!!!
Everything breaks down !
Helo rescue is not a walk in the park. It's down right dangerous for everyone involved.
3:09 hopefully no hikers down there
NICE
Oh my word. Me next.
👍
😊 happy end

I would have had a heart attack!!!

I would be so scared to ever go on one of those things people just think it’s like not even scary it’s just normal I’d be so scared

Not free by any means

you'd have thought the dumb passengers may have been a tad concerned instead of laughing joking and messing about as if they're on the ground...pity the cables didn't start unravelling.....that would have concentrated their minds.

Felix s Your comment is unduly harsh, and unfair to everyone on that car. Even had we thought our situation was likely fatal, we would still have been calm and considerate of each other. I'm not sure what you expected. Screams, perhaps, or weeping. Sorry to disappoint you.
