Mottarone tragedy: prosecutor, ‘stopped framed by photos, more security interventions required’

Stresa, May 26 (from the correspondent Antonietta Ferrante) (Afe / Adnkronos) “We were able to ascertain from the findings analyzed in these two days and in particular from the analysis of the photographic findings that the crashed cabin had the emergency brake system that had been tampered with, that is, it had not been removed or rather the fork that keeps the brake shoes at a distance had been affixed, which should have blocked the cable in case of cable break “. This was stated by the prosecutor of Verbania Olimpia Bossi investigating the slate of the Mottarone cable car. The need for this ‘temporary patch’ arises from the need not to block the system for a long time that had “anomalies” so on the cabin “is not this device was placed (the fork, ed) and when the cable broke the cabin fell “. A” very disturbing “investigative development: With the” belief that the cable would never be cut, the risk was taken “several times and a tragedy although the anomalies of the system had been “reported several times”. Among the latest interventions there is certainly that of May 3, but at least one other request for intervention would have been ignored, in short, the cabin would have been at risk for several days or weeks.
