Military helicopters and ziplining commandos rescued eight people, including six schoolboys, who were trapped for hours on Tuesday in a stricken cable car high above a remote Pakistani valley. The daring rescue began with a helicopter plucking a child to safety after almost 12 hours, but it was forced back to base as bad weather closed in and night fell. Then, commandos from Pakistan's Special Service Group (SSG) known as the Maroon Berets used the cable keeping the gondola from plunging into the valley as a zipline to rescue the rest of those stranded.
