Frightening moments in Cortina on Sunday when a cabin of the Tofana cable car suddenly disengaged from the Ra Valles start. As the Corriere delle Alpi paper reported, the accident reportedly occurred due to an electrical fault. The uncoupling caused the emergency brake to kick in, and the cabin began swinging violently into the void. On board were 30 tourists for whom there were no consequences. The control officer was present in the cabin and tried to reassure the tourists, explaining that the second engine in the system would return the cabin to safety.
