Seems kind of weird no one noticed them crash.
Now folks will be squeamish to go to squamish.
Apparently they fell during the night while it was not in operation.
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.
Like really dude? Since they were obviously cut in the middle of the night (per the article by the way) and not noticed until around 7:00 a.m. (again, per the article), It's perfectly logical that no one saw the vandalism.......
Either that or the hundreds of people hanging around the base departure or summit at that time of night ain't talking......./s
Another act of violence by Eco Terrorists.......
They were taken off suicide watch.
If gondolas crash in the forest and nobody is there to hear them...
