On 31 january, A gondola cabin fell down in Hafjell, Norway. The cabin was ripped off by a building crane that was working in the area, the crane was certified to opperate close to the gondola, and had limited movement to avoid it interfering with the gondola, but somhow a wire from the crane catched a cabin and the grip on the cabin released.
A 10 year old danish boy was alone in the cabin that fell down, he complianed of backpain and was rushed to hospital, but is reported to be ok.
The cabin fell 33ft

Some copy and a few pictures. A wide shot showing the crane's loction would be nice. Remarkably good outcome.
