The person in charge emphasized that the Yangtze River cable car has two systems, automatic electrical and manual control system. Since it was built, no death accidents have occurred. The two systems can fully ensure the safety of passengers. According to the report of China National Radio Chongqing on November 15 (reported by Liu Zhan), due to the failure of the control panel components, the cabin of the Yangtze River cable car in Chongqing suspended in the air for about 6 minutes yesterday morning. Then it went into the station smoothly through artificial traction mode. This is the second component failure of the Yangtze River cable car since this month.
The person in charge expressed that perhaps because of the recent weather changes, a fault occurred in the electronic components of the automatic electrical control system which led to the suspension. Next step, we will conduct a comprehensive investigation of some parts and replace the components that may cause problems.
Relevant persons in charge of Chongqing Passenger Cableway Company explained that at 8:14 am that day, one component of the Yangtze River cable car control board was damaged, and after the automatic protection device was started, the cable car suspended in the air. Through the conversion control device, 6 minutes later, the suspended cabin was pulled back to the platform.
