Wow Whistler Gondola Collapsed



Wow this is crazy I was on this Gondola 3 days ago. As much as I complained about my trip it could have been a lot worse. If you look at the pics it looks like the tower snapped perfectly clean.

Twelve people were injured in the accident, said Ryan Proctor with Whistler Blackcomb public relations, but all had been released from the local clinic by Tuesday evening.

The accident occurred at 2:30 p.m. on the Excalibur Gondola, which carries skiers to the top of Blackcomb Mountain from Whistler Village, which is co-hosting the 2010 Winter Olympics with Vancouver.

My friends cousin was on this Gondola one day before it crashed! We were afraid because we didn't heard something about him for days. But everything was o.k. at the end!
