Trapped in a cable car overnight

Those poor people.

It would be my worst ever nightmare, and then for it to be dangling in high winds, gives me the shivers just thinking about it.

I've just been reading about this - those poor people.

AnthonyPandy · 08/09/2016 23:06

How are they going to wee? How many to a cable car? Will they get cold?

PikachuSayBoo · 08/09/2016 23:06

Think they've managed to get people food, water and blankets but it's going to be a cold and uncomfy night. Not sure if there's still kids trapped.

PikachuSayBoo · 08/09/2016 23:08

They're either going to have to wee on the floor and let it slop about or some cable cars have an escape hatch in the floor which if they're brave they could open and balance above it!

The windows will open so a bloke can probably pee out the window. Maybe women can pee in a cup and throw it out the window.

Ive been on that cable car and it's high up! Some people may be on their own, people could potentially have six or maybe eight in their cabin.

Nightmare scenario!

Haggisfish · 08/09/2016 23:11

I'd have a heart attack I think!! Although I'm actually quite good in pressurised situations. I'd definitely suffer nightmares afterwards though.

GiddyOnZackHunt · 08/09/2016 23:14

I knew I was right to refuse to go in that sort of thing.

AnthonyPandy · 08/09/2016 23:17

Some people may be on their own?!?!?

Isn't there a horror film which basically has this as the plot?

igotnotimeforthis · 08/09/2016 23:19
Shock I have been there! I hated it even though nothing happened then, i think I would lose it. I hate cable cars!! I hope everyone will be ok.

I'd rather be on my own than crammed in with a load of others.

At least it's not the Vanoise express which is a massive cable car, standing room only and fits about 200 people in jammed in like sardines. You'd have to sleep standing up if trapped in there!

I hope they don't get a Mussorgsky ear worm I know I would.
