Happy new year from me to you. Thanks to the efforts of the Bernalillo County Fire Department metro air support system rescued 20 Ten3 employees were inside of the Sandia Park Tramway who were taking the tram back down when due to the ice on the cables, the tram was stuck.
The incident took place around 2am in Albuquerque New Mexico on Saturday morning. The air support team managed to get the employees into safety in groups of two to four persons at a time.
One Ten3 employee who was on a separate tram is inside of one the other tram. The Bernalillo County Fire Department will be working on a plan to rescue the lone employee as soon as possible.
One thing about cold weather is that it can get ice on objects like cables on trams and halt their travel from one place to another quickly.

All 21 employees were rescued as of Saturday afternoon. I agree with you being trapped inside of a tram is scary.

The weather can create situations where rescue are called to assist persons in need of help.

I am sure the employers must have scared since being trapped inside of a tram at such a height is scary for anyone.
