Two children saved in Pakistan cable car rescue operation – BBC News



Two children have been rescued from a group of six others and two adults who have been trapped in a cable car dangling above a ravine in Pakistan.

The group, aged between 10 and 16, were heading to school when one of the cables snapped, leaving it dangling 274m (900ft) above the ground.

A police officer has confirmed that both the rescued children are in a stable condition.

Strong winds have been hindering the precarious operation, and sunset is approaching.

  2. There is old feudalism system exists in Ala Battagram they have kept the people away from basic life facilities. These feudals politicians are very corrupt and loots the funds with locals departments. This is reality that they don't want to awareness here to challenge this rotten system and talk about development and education.

  3. The BBC shamelessly distorted and sensationalized its coverage of the alleged fascist and inept military leadership in charge. The so-called "rescue mission" by the military was a laughable failure – the malfunctioning cable car contained a mere 8 individuals, and after a tiresome 8-hour media spectacle, the subpar military outfit managed to extract a pitiful two of them. The truth of the matter is that the remaining individuals were only saved once the prolonged charade came to an end. Local volunteers, without any monetary incentive and without the assistance of helicopters, managed to rescue the rest within a mere 3 hours. The stark reality is that the military is woefully inadequate even at the most basic tasks. This was nothing more than a grandiose display, a mere facade put on by the corrupt military regime in Pakistan. I am convinced that the BBC (Bogus Broadcasting Corp) should cease disseminating false narratives and fabricated news about the corrupt gang known as the Pakistan military – a despotic clique that excels solely in perpetuating deception, corruption, and deceit, employing their morally and intellectually bankrupt mouthpieces such as the Bogus Broadcasting Network UK and its cohorts.

  4. not only cable cars in Pakistan, but I also avoid to board on PIA (Pakistan International Airline) which has many unfortunate incidents since last decade and even long before. Pakistan needs to focus on their poor quality transportation, instead of engaging in nonsense politics which has no outcome.

  5. Great job Pakistani rescuers…if this was in Canada the people would have waited in days to be rescued, and probably would have plunge to their death..since Canada is a 3rd world country lol
