Sea-to-Sky Gondola Cables Cut https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/briti...alls-1.5242787 Quote:

Heard about that, wouldn't they need some serious equipment to get up that high, and cut such a thick cable? |
Any cordless angle grinder with a cutting disc would make quick work of that cable |

Damn |
can't think of a good reason anyone would gain from this they've been talking about an expansion...insurance fraud? |
These things rely on a single cable? I'd have thought there would be at least two in case one fails. |

Do any of these incidents involve the cable actually snapping? Especially unloaded, non-operational, and without severe weather? |
Didn’t notice the missing cars yesterday, but on the way back today it sure looked a little empty. |
Why? Seriously, what kind of maniac does this |
idiots....whoever would take their personal time to get up there and cut it,i imagine the carriers are all thrown away since most are bent.....huge security risk in that if they ever tried re-using them :heckno: |
Really having a hard time understanding why stone would do tos. Its not a spur of the moment vandalism kind of thing. Very deliberate and targeted needing the correct tools. But then why target the gondola ? Doesn't seem like the kind of thing that would offend someone. Imagine if they didn't cut all the way thru and instead cut 80% of the way so that it wouldn't let go until hundreds of people were riding. Fuck me |
Is the sea to sky gondola privately owned or is it a crown corp? This is very interesting. |
has the markings of a disgruntled employee - does not want to harm visitors but send a lesson to the company - cause maximum financial damage without loss of life, the only loser is company I put money that the cause will be mental health (as it always is now a days) |
Wasn’t there local opposition to the gondola before it was built? Could be some local grumps who are bitter about the influx of tourists too.. Regardless it was a stupid move and at the end of the day, they’ll simply increase security and it will be back up and running in no time. Waste of time for all those involved, aside from whoever profits from the event of course. |

My memory failed me on that one, but my point remains, that these accidents are essentially always related to something other than a cable snapping. Grips on the cabins, doors opening, damaged towers, derailing. |
