Pakistani Military Launches Risky Helicopter Rescue Mission to Save Six Children and Two Teachers Trapped in Gondola 900 Feet Above Ravine

Rescue mission underway for six children and two teachers trapped in a gondola 900 feet above a ravine in Pakistan.

Six teenagers and two adults are currently trapped in a cable car dangling over a deep valley in Pakistan. The teens were using the chairlift to cross the valley to get to school when a cable snapped at a height of up to 1,200 feet. The children have been stranded since 7 a.m. local time (9 p.m. Monday ET).

The Pakistani military has launched an “extremely risky” helicopter rescue mission to save the stranded passengers, but the operation is being hampered by high winds. The gondola is located in a remote, mountainous part of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, about 125 miles north of Islamabad.

The rescue mission is being led by the Pakistani military, who have dispatched a helicopter to the area. The helicopter is carrying a team of soldiers and rescue workers who are attempting to lower a rope to the gondola and pull the passengers to safety.

The rescue mission is expected to take several hours, and the Pakistani military is urging the public to pray for the safety of the passengers. The military has also warned that the mission is extremely risky and that the passengers could be in danger if the winds continue to be strong.

The Pakistani government has expressed its full support for the rescue mission and is monitoring the situation closely. The government has also offered its condolences to the families of the passengers and is providing them with any assistance they may need.
