A nail-biting rescue of children dangling hundreds of metres in the air in a cable car in Pakistan this week faced unprecedented challenges, with officials fearing the last remaining cable could snap at any moment, rescuers and military officers said. The sixteen-hour rescue effort gripped global attention, as Pakistan's air force, military and civilians on the ground struggled to rescue eight people, mostly children, from the flimsy cable car, which was dangling 183 metres (600 feet) over a river below after one of its cables broke. "It was very stressful," said Major Asad Khan Marwat, who played a key role coordinating the operation from the ground.
