On Saturday afternoon, there was an accident in Reichenbach, Kandertal BE, when the cable ripped off a private cable car. At that time, five people were on board, four of them crashed about 10 meters into the rough terrain and had to be rescued by helicopter.
"I've already used the cable car," says DJ *, who is on the meadow operates a cabin. "Either you run the Alp, or you take the Bähnli." Although he knew that this was not quite allowed, many would do it.
As 20 Minuten knows, the track belongs to an alpine. On foot it would take about 15 minutes. "Apparently, five of them were stuck in this box," says a neighborhood resident, "they were very lucky."
The transport crate was getting faster
This is not the first time it's been a misfortune because a Transportbähnchen was used for transportation Passengers:
In August 2013, a serious accident occurred in Innerthal in the canton of Schwyz with a transport cable car. This was from the Alp Bärlaui on 1290 meters in the valley to Lake Wägitaler, as the transport box was getting faster, derailed and hit a mast. The gondola crushed into a steep forest, a 38 year old Swiss and his 31 year old wife lost their lives in the disaster. Her 16-month-old daughter survived the accident with moderate injuries.
A German Alp employee (68 years old), who served the railroad, was convicted in October 2017 of manslaughter by negligence. The verdict: a fine of 180 daily rates at 20 francs.
