Numerous cable cars plummeted to the ground near Vancouver's Howe Sound after a cable was cut early Saturday, in what the Royal Canadian Mounted Police said they believe was an act of vandalism.
The Sea to Sky Gondola, a sightseeing attraction in Squamish, British Columbia, wasn't operating at the time of the incident, which occurred around 4:30 a.m. , according to a statement on the gondola's website. No guests or staff members were injured and the attraction is now closed."We believe the cables were cut and this was a deliberate act of vandalism," said Squamish RCMP Inspector Kara Triance, according to CNN news partner CBC."At this time, it's a crime scene.

The cable holding the cars, the CBC reported, was just over 2 inches in diameter, and Sea to Sky had recently done maintenance on the line.Police are asking visitors to stay away from the area, including away from nearby trails.Read MoreThe Sea to Sky Gondola takes passengers to almost 3,000 feet above sea level, providing views of Howe Sound and surrounding waterfalls.
BoSnerdley Eco-terrorism?
I didn’t think crimes were committed in Canada. The way the various whack-job Canadian citizens talk, you’d think it’s a perfect utopia up there.

Vandalism? More like terrorism
Vandalism. Funny. I thought vandalism was spray painting a train and trying to kill people was attempted murder. My how the communists have changed things.
Omg jesscarreiro!!! Terrifying!!!
Westcoast seems to be experiencing some sort of natural disconnection from reality ..mmm
Okay....just saying, but what kind of tool does someone just have handy, that can cut a cable line?
Attempting to kill people in Canada is just vandalism?
Thank god for their universal healthcare

It’s called attempted murder.
I live in a city with a cable hub. I've been sitting at the top of the building for years, and a guy I know was kicking the shit out of my cable car on the right side of the vehicle.
