Milan – A cable car carrying a cable car south of Naples crashed on the ground Thursday after a cable was stolen, killing at least four people and seriously injuring one, officials said.
The buttoned cables will stop both up and down the cable car as they pass through Monte Faito in the town of Castellammare di Stabia. Naples principal Michele de Bari said the ascending cable car eventually crashed, causing death and injury, while eight tourists and an operator evacuated from the downward cable car.
According to Marco de Rosa, mayor of the local town of Vico Equense, four of the four dead, including a British and an Israeli woman. In the morning after the accident, only two of the three foreign victims were found.

Italian prosecutors have begun investigating multiple manslaughter and criminal disasters.
“The traction cable is disconnected. The emergency brake is effective downstream, but it is obviously not the one that enters the cabin of the station,” said Castellammare Mayor Luigi Vicinanza.
Alpine rescue in Italy, as well as firefighters, police and the Civil Protection Agency, responded to the accident.
The accident happened just one week after the cable car and was popular for its views of Mount Vesuvius and the Bay of Naples, reopening the season.
