It said they got an alert at 4:30AM that a haul rope was down and noticed the gondola’s down at 7AM. My guess is the local Amish cut them overnight, maybe not all the way thru, hoping the balance of the cable would snap once passengers got on board, but they probably cut too much and the weight and wind finished the job after the Amish left.
IIRC there is no “local Amish” in that area.
Comments like yours makes Free Republic an embarrassment.
By Amish do you mean white eco-warrior leftists?
Planes, skyscrapers and now this.

Yea, I was thinking the same - not much value in simply taking down a bunch of empty cars, when, if you do the calculations correctly, you can bring down the infidel with them.
Amish dont do mountains much honestly at least at least not on this continent
Were you thinking another sort of Amish rain man?
