Due to poor weather conditions and nightfall, authorities postponed the helicopter rescue until the next morning, leaving the remaining 33 passengers suspended in the cable cars overnight with five rescuers providing them with blankets, food and water.
"They didn't get a lot of sleep," Eric Fournier, the mayor of Chamonix, Mont Blanc, said. "It was a strange experience, but they were warm under blankets and with their families."
When morning came, and once the tangled cables were straightened out, the rescue mission continued. The cars successfully brought all passengers to safety on ground.
"The extent of this rescue operation is simply unbelievable," said Col. Frederic Labrunye, commander of the provincial gendarmerie group of Haute-Savoie. "By the volume of people to rescue - we rarely rescue 110 people at the same time in high mountain - and by the environment in which it happens, in the heart of one of the largest glaciers in Europe, over a distance of five kilometers of cable with 36 cabins."
