Hesse: Technical defect: 41 passengers rescued from the gondola

Rüdesheim am Rhein (dpa/lhe) - Rescue workers freed 41 people from the gondolas of the Rüdesheim cable car in the Rheingau-Taunus district on Friday evening. The almost 1.4-kilometer-long track had previously stopped due to a technical defect in the hydraulics, as a police spokesman said. The passengers were trapped in the gondolas hanging up to 14 meters above the ground for almost three hours. A total of 41 passengers were rescued from 20 gondolas. Nobody was injured in the incident. The "Hessenschau" had previously reported on the incident.
