Eight people rescued from cable car over Pakistan valley

Military helicopters and zipline experts on Tuesday rescued eight people, including six school boys, trapped for hours in a stricken cable car high above a remote Pakistan valley. The six children had been on their way to school when the chairlift broke down at midway through its journey, hanging above the lush green Allai valley. 

Residents used mosque loudspeakers to alert neighborhood officials of the emergency. Then rescuers used the cable keeping the gondola from plunging into the valley as a zipline to rescue the rest of those stranded late into Tuesday night. Rescuers set up a temporary camp on a mountaintop and were providing first aid.
