There are still many elements to clarify Affaire of the Mount Faito cable car Colored Thursday, April 17, 2025 in Castellammare di Stabia. Twenty -four hours lateraccident In which four people lost their lives and was seriously injured, the exact dynamics of the transfer of the traction cavity, the failure to function of the emergency brake and the times of the rescue represent the most important questions on which the investigations are concentrated. The authorities try to accurately reconstruct the order of events that led to the fall of the cabin aimed at the top. The public prosecutor of Torre Annunziata has opened an investigation against unknown persons for culpable disasters and manslaughterWith the seizure of the system to allow all necessary investigations.
The dynamics of the accident and safety systems
One of the most important questions concerns the reason why the two huts had opposite destination. The cable car worked with two cars that at the same time travel in opposite directions. After the alarm at 2.46 pm, the head stopped -on the cabin thanks to the activation of the emergency brake, which remained at about twenty meters high. On the contrary, the same system has not been put into use in the cabin focused on the top. As reported by RepubblicaAccording to the mayor Luigi -Nabigitheid, this cabin started to take back along the cable after 15:15, which gradually increased the speed to be completely detached. The reasons for this difference in the functioning of the security systems are a central aspect of the research.
Moreover, it is not yet clear when exactly the fall of the cabin took place. Second The reconstruction of the RepublicAfter the alarm, the rescuers immediately evacuated the passengers of the cabin on the valley. For the cabin focused on the top, however, the situation was much more complex. The visibility was compromised by fog and vegetation, so that the position is not visually verified. Despite the repeated attempts to contact the driver, the fall was not immediately accepted. Only after 5:15 pm the police officers were the accident formalized, while the actual discovery took place around 7 p.m., when the Alpine Rescue laid the wreck with three victims in the forest. The fourth victim was found shortly thereafter by the technicians of the Guardia di Finanza. The researchers will have to establish The exact cause of breaking the tractie cable. As he explained Morning Umberto de Gregorio, president of the EAV (the regional transport company that manages the cable car), would have influenced the hut a pylon before they fell. However, it is not clear if this impact was the cause of the demolition of the cable or a consequence of the initial malfunction.
Monte Faito cable rink, operating elements and emergency management
It seems surprising that the system has undergone a failure despite recent checks. The cable car resumed the service only ten days earlier, after the winter closing. The Gregorio said that All necessary tests were done during the break. In March 2024, only a month earlier, The factory was subject to inspections by experts from the National Railway Safety Agency And road and highway infrastructures (Ansfisa). It is therefore difficult to understand how, despite these checks, such a serious failure has taken place.
The reason why The factory has remained in operation despite the unfavorable weather conditions. On the day of the accident there was a strong wind, although the civil protection had only given a yellow alert again. The Gregorio explained“”We have an operational director of excellent quality. A Sometimes it closes in the presence of a strong wind, apparently he nowadays believed that the circumstances were not so to impose the stop” Special attention The researchers will probably also be dedicated to the history of the factory, which in 1960 still registered an accident with four victims, and in 2021 a block that has suspended 31 people for more than an hour due to an electric interruption.
