Madison Street cable car disaster blamed on gripman
A Star based report confirms the Madison street cable wreck was caused by an improperly working grip. An ex-employee who inspected the grip says the expert’s conclusion is correct. The grip dies show wear from grinding, and evidence indicates the cable remained in the grip during the downhill slip. The writer cites the need for proper grip adjustment and denies track sanding as a factor.
