Mottarone cable car, “a cable has come off”

“It is a bit early to explain the dynamics of the Mottarone cable car accident: what we have seen is that a steel cable – which should be the supporting cable of the cable car – has come off and as a result concatenating actions that led to the release of the cable car from the rest of the cables that remained intact “. This was stated by Giorgio Santacroce, lieutenant colonel of the operative unit of the Verbania carabinieri, who spoke on the accident of the cable car on the Mottarone where 13 people lost their lives, including “some foreigners”. “But on the identification we prefer to still maintain confidentiality”, he adds. Read also “The plant is under seizure, we have not yet heard the cable car operator, before we complete the rescue phase”, says Santacroce, underlining that “the cabin can bring even more people: in this period of Covid the places are reduced “, but 15 people were” regular “.
