Pakistan Cable Car Accident: Zip Line Rescue Saves Trapped Passengers

Eight people, including six children, were rescued on Tuesday after a cable car snapped and dangled about 274 metres above a ravine in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, with a helicopter lifting one child and a zip line operation bringing down the rest. Pakistan's caretaker Prime Minister Anwaar ul Haq Kakar issued a directive for safety inspections on all privately-operated lifts, while the cause of the accident remains under investigation.
