Six children and two adults were rescued on Tuesday after being left hanging hundreds of metres in the air
Attaullah, 16, was travelling to school on Tuesday to collect his exam results, using a cable car to cross the ravine from his village – as he had done many times before. But when a cable broke and left him, five other children and two adults hanging precariously in the air hundreds of metres above a steep gorge, he said he had no hope he would survive.
“I was hell scared and all the children started screaming. We started holding each other as it kept dangling. I thought I was dead now,” he told the Guardian from the mountainous village of Allai.
