The catastrophe on the Deoghar ropeway was a calamity waiting to happen.

Three people perished and numerous others were injured as stranded cable cars dangled midair on the Deoghar ropeway after a 40-hour rescue attempt. On Sunday, two cable cars crashed near the Trikut Hills, resulting in a complete shutdown of operations. Two of the three people that died were slain during the rescue effort. While one guy died after falling from one of the Indian Airforce helicopters, another woman perished when the rope used to save her broke. The remaining 45 tourists trapped in the cable cars were freed on Tuesday.
