Daring Rescue: 14 Trapped in Bavarian Cable Car Safely Retrieved

A complex operation involving helicopters and abseiling freed individuals stranded for hours due to a technical malfunction.

A technical defect caused a cable car in Schneizlreuth, Bavaria, to halt, leaving 14 people suspended for several hours.
The rescue operation involved 20 personnel from various mountain rescue teams and the Bundeswehr, along with three helicopters.
Rescue teams used abseiling techniques to lower the individuals 170 meters before airlifting them to safety.
The cable car, primarily used by the Bundeswehr and not accessible to the public, experienced a 'cable override' malfunction.
Investigations into the exact cause of the technical failure are ongoing, with no injuries reported among those rescued.
