Next time you are at Schloss Neuschwanstein on ED, you can think of these unlucky twenty people who got stuck over night in the Alps inside a stopped cable car! The only bathroom was (to open) a hatch in the floor!


The news report...

Near the Neuschwanstein castle - the tourists ordeal began on Friday afternoon when a paraglider hit a cable, causing the mechanism to stop, a police spokesman.

Some cable car passengers were brought down safely later Friday but the rescue efforts were suspended at nightfall leaving 20 people still suspended in a 12 square metre (130 square foot) compartment not far from the Louis II Neuschwanstein castle, a major tourist attraction.

Rescue workers did at least manage to provide them with food and drink, and toys for the children stranded overnight.
In the early morning the rescue efforts resumed by helicopter and all involved were brought back down and were in good health, police said.
