One hopes that the suspension of the cars is permanent, unless people
want to swim the rest of the way across.

I hope the suspension is better than temporary! Was it left dangling
by a thread?

Perhaps the 'temporary suspension' involved hanging someone by the
neck until dead ... anyone seen Boris?

One wonders why the copywriters did not see the opportunity they
presented people for some bad puns.

It was only a matter of time before something like this happened,
indeed. I'm surprised that it did not happen sooner, rather than later,
however.

Infant mortality in electronic, electrical, mechanical and electro-
mechanical systems is a well known reliability issue at the systems
level. Well, it was when I did ONC Testing Methods and Reliability in
1984, I don't know if modern engineers are still taught such things.

In this case, I hear, it was a sensor that failed.

They did not report that two men were fighting on the roof of the
cable car and one of them fell to his death but had a parachute.
