First, off this morning, cable car accident in snowy Kashmir kills at least 7. On Sunday a cable car in the tourist town of Gulmarg came crashing down from a height of at least 30 meters. The cables snapped when strong winds toppled a huge tree along the route, killing everyone in the fallen car. The dead included a New Delhi couple and their two children. Officials say they have restored the cable and rescued about 150 people trapped in other cars. The cable-cars at Gulmarg are among the highest in the world, carrying passengers to a height of 4,100 meters to enjoy the scenic views of the Himalayas. The accident was the first since the cable cars were installed 18 years ago. Some are now questioning why the cars weren't suspended in high winds. TRANSLATED BY:JEFF CHANG
