25-08-2023 07:00
Eight people travel by cable car above a deep valley in Pakistan. There are six children among them They are going to school.
Suddenly, a cable breaks. People get stuck hundreds of meters above the ground. It is a dangerous situation. A helicopter and teams on the ground must help. They use a zip line. They take all people down. All people are safe now. But the rescue operation is difficult and risky.
People call the cable car Dolly. Dolly helps in the mountains. There are bad roads. People need the cable car. It carries not only people but also things.
Difficult words: get stuck (when you stay in a place and cannot get out or away), zip line (a cable between two points which people go down with), risky (not safe).
You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
