Overview

• Four people, including tourists, were killed, and one operator was seriously injured when a Monte Faito cable car fell after a cable broke.
• The injured operator was airlifted to Naples’ Hospital del Mare for treatment, while all victims have been recovered.
• Rescue efforts were hindered by dense fog and adverse weather, delaying the location of the fallen cabin.
• Infrastructure Minister Matteo Salvini has ordered an investigation into the operator EAV's maintenance practices to determine potential liabilities.
• The cable car, a popular tourist attraction since 1952, had reopened just a week earlier following its annual winter maintenance.
