Nearly 70 skiers were rescued from stranded gondolas at Gore Mountain in the Adirondacks after a mechanical failure left them suspended mid-air for hours. Rescuers worked tirelessly for five hours to free the skiers, who reported being trapped above the mountain landscape. The incident highlights the challenges faced during such emergencies and has since raised discussions about safety protocols at ski resorts. All individuals involved in the incident have been safely evacuated, and the gondola has since reopened following the repairs.
