It was Italy’s deadliest cable car disaster since 1998, when a U.S. military jet severed the cable of a ski lift in the Dolomites, killing 20 people.

Italian officials have identified the four people who died in a cable car accident on Thursday. The ride was popular with locals and visitors because of its breathtaking views.

Four people were killed as the cable car approached the Monte Faito landing station – including a British woman and an Israeli woman, according to a spokesperson for the mayor of Vico Equense ...

In January 2024, four people were seriously injured after a cable car crashed to the ground at a ski resort in the Austrian Alps. A cable car crash in Stresa, Italy, in May 2021 resulted in 14 deaths.

As the makeshift cable car had reached about the midway point carrying passengers straight across between two mountains, Tuesday around 7:30 a.m., one of the two cables it ran along snapped.
