As much as some people think "How shitty was this thing built?" Consider how well it was built that a tower can collapse, and yet no one was hurt.

Also consider how lucky they were to be in a gondola, and not an exposed chair.

And lastly, I'm willing to bet each car was thoroughly hotboxed by about 10 minutes after the incident, so everyone would have had a good time anyway.
