Watch: Pak Children Stuck Mid-Air In Cable Car, Chopper Can't Rescue Them | Read

Six children and two adults have been trapped all day in a cable car dangling 274 metres (900 feet) above a deep valley in Pakistan's Battagram, a remote and mountainous area around 200 km north of Islamabad. The children - between 10 and 15 years of age - were using the cable car to get to school when one cable broke, leaving the gondola tilting dangerously and dangling mid-air. However, Syed Hammad Haider, a senior official from the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province - has claimed the cable car is hanging between 1,000 to 1,200 feet above the ground.
