Not exactly the news you want to hear as Jackson Hole prepares to christen its new tram. Here’s the AP take.
Fifty-three people were evacuated after a tower buckled near the bottom of the lift. At least one gondola car hit the ground and rolled over.
“The injuries reported were ‘minor,’ said Michelle Leroux, spokeswoman for Doppelmayr/Garaventa Group, the German company that built the Excalibur,” according to the Vancouver Sun.
Doppelmayr/Garaventa also happens to be the manufacturer of the new Jackson Hole Aerial Tram.
