People were stuck in the gondolas for 5 hours before they were rescued. To my knowledge luckily nobody was seriously hurt. Only, tales of puking kids, piss bottles, bruises and full absail rescues from the gondolas made it done. Congratulations to the patrol for getting everyone down.

Unfortunately, there are some really stupid people who are talking about suing the lift company for opening the lift in the morning. This is despite the fact it was windy down in the village in the morning so everyone knew it was going to be bad up there errr.. Admittedly they wouldn't have known how bad it was going to be but they're in the mountains, weather changes severely without notice, get over it thats what nature does. They should just be glad they're alive and the thank gratefully the people who saved them.
