After sunset, an aircraft rescue mission in Pakistan was discontinued, and a ground operation was launched to rescue the remaining six persons in a dangling cable car.
After a rope split, eight people, including six children, were stranded in a cable vehicle suspended high above a ravine in Pakistan.
The children were riding the chairlift to school when a cable snapped around 1,200 feet (365 meters) into its journey in a remote, hilly area of northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
Two army helicopters have been despatched for the rescue mission, according to Pakistan’s National Disaster Management Authority.
