New Mexico search and rescue crews used ropes and helicopters to rescue 21 people stranded overnight in two tram cars after an iced-over cable caused the cars to get stuck in the Sandia Mountains above Albuquerque.

Lt. Robert Arguellas a Bernalillo County Fire Department spokesperson, said early Saturday afternoon that crews first rescued 20 people stranded in one car and several hours later rescued a 21st person stranded by themselves in a second car.or a mountaintop restaurant, and the 20 in one car were being ferried down to the base of the mountains at the end of their workdays, Arguellas said.

To rescue the 20 people in the one car, operators were able to move it to a nearby support tower more than halfway up the mountain, and search and rescue personnel early Saturday morning hiked to the area and climbed the tower to deliver blankets and other supplies to those inside the heated car, Arguellas said.

The 20 people were then ferried by helicopter several at a time to the base of the mountains, he said.

Should have bought the de-icing package from a reputable manufacturer. Ice shouldn’t be a problem with modern technology.

How did they stay warm?
