Looking at the overall state of the thing...I think they knew they were rolling the dice hoping for a non-critical failure role.

Got to feel sorry for them though. At the moment their choices are shitty cable car or don't get an education.

Indeed. Let's at least hope this incident releases some funds for a proper connection so the choice is easier.

Yes, I hope so.

So far the person who owns the cable car has been arrested, not sure how that is going to help.

It makes safety cheaper than what happened here.
