Cable Cars Stuck High in Sandia Mountains Stranding 38
Thirty eight passengers remain stranded in two Sandia Peak aerial cable cars after a haul cable slipped from its track Wednesday night. Rescue teams and bulldozers push a crane to lift the cable back into place as officials report the riders, including a baby, are in fine condition. A mountain rescue team ferries food and blankets to the cars as thundershowers move through the area. The top car sits about 600 feet above ground near Sandia Crest, while the other hovers 250 feet above the bottom. The incident occurred while the system serves the Sandia Crest area near Albuquerque. Saigon reports Viet Cong orders a general cease fire effective Friday at noon Saigon time.
