Four victims, including British and Israeli tourists, are identified following a fatal cable car crash in Italy.
The beautiful cable car ride originating from Castellammare di Stabia turned tragic when it plummeted just seconds before reaching the scenic plateau on Monte Faito. According to local officials, the crash resulted from a snapped traction cable, which did not only cause the cab to fall but also led to the entrapment of nine passengers in another cabin. Those passengers were rescued safely, showcasing the commendable efforts of local emergency services.
Among the deceased were Elaine Margaret Winn and Graeme Derek Winn from the UK, alongside Janan Suleiman, an Israeli woman holding Arab citizenship. The only survivor, her brother Thabet Suleiman, was reported to be in critical condition and receiving treatment at a Naples hospital. The Italian mayor of Castellammare di Stabia, Luigi Vicinanza, characterized the event as a "tragic" occurrence, expressing condolences and noting that the families of the victims would be coming to Italy to provide support.
As investigations continue, Italian prosecutors are looking into the technical failures that led to this devastating incident.
