like it has nothing to do with a bunch of people getting killed tragically, but neither does

A cable car crashed in Italy and killed a lot of people. Prime minister Mario Draghi has declared a day of morning stating that "today... is the spiciest of-a meatball..."

Better than the last time when this happened where the cable was cut by a hotdogging American pilot.

quote:

On February 3, 1998, 20 Europeans, mostly Germans and Belgians, were taking a ski tram up Cermis Mountain when an EA-6B Prowler operated by the U.S. Marines suddenly flew by. The anti-radar aircraft sliced right through the steel cable holding up the tram and it plunged more than 250 feet to the ground. Everyone on board was killed instantly.

The plane suffered minimal damage and returned to its base in Italy. The pilot, Captain Richard J. Ashby, and navigator, Captain Joseph Schweitzer, destroyed a videotape that had recorded their flight before an investigation began. Still, it was soon discovered that the plane had been flying at only 360 feet above the ground

quote:

the crew was acquitted in March 1999. Ashby and Schweitzer were court-martialed for obstruction of justice for their destruction of the videotape and dismissed from the Marines

Fun fact: the song that people generically associate with Italian resturaunts was actually written to commemorate the opening of the first funicular (which is a natural predator of the feeble cable car).

I think this was the kind of tram they were in during an accident in the Alps where a tram caught on fire midway through a tunnel and almost everybody ran up the tunnel away from the fire and suffocated to death, when they should have run down, past the fire instead, because smoke rises. The only person who knew this was a firefighter on the tram who led like 5 people to safety; and everyone who went the wrong way died.

Cable car is the most obviously deadly means of transportation there is. Look at it. Obviously the cable is going to snap. Chekhov's gondola.

Sad about the the deaths though. Predictable but sad.

It's way cheap and lazy that there wasn't a second cable in place as a backup. I've noticed the same issue with those window cleaning platforms used for highrise blocks. Life is cheap and insurance will cover it, I suppose.

hey it's a me vincenzo, the guy who checks the cable on the cable car every day to make sure it doesn't snap and kill 14 people. I had a too much vino with my mistress last night and a couldn't make it to work. ahhhhhh I'm sure itsa be fine!
