A cable car carrying six children and two adults dangled hundreds of feet above the ground in a remote part of Pakistan after it broke. Rescuers have arrived in helicopters to try to free them.
In this image taken from video, a cable car carrying six children and two adults dangles hundreds of feet above the ground in the remote Battagram district, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, on Tuesday. A rescue mission is underway.
Army commandos could be seen on local TV trying to lower themselves on ropes from the choppers toward the cable car. An expert warned the rescue was incredibly delicate because the wind created by the helicopters' blades could further weaken cables holding the car aloft.
