One Wednesday, five-year-old Eitan Biran opened his eyes in the intensive care unit of an Italian hospital for the first time since he was critically injured in a cable car disaster in Italy.
Eitan was the sole survivor.
Fourteen people, including Eitan’s father Amit Biran, his mother Tal, his two-year-old brother Tom and his grandparents Barbara and Yitzhak Cohen, perished on Sunday when the cable car fell off its track and rolled down the mountainside, scattering bodies before crashing into trees that stopped its forward momentum.
