The passengers dropped for nearly an hour as the Deogyusan Resort Gondola in Muju-gun, Jeollabuk-do, stopped amid a fierce cold and heavy snowfall of more than minus 10 degrees Celsius.The

resort has made emergency recovery for now, got passengers off, and started an emergency facility inspection.

I'm connecting with a reporter to find out more about the news. Reporter Kim Minsung!

[Reporter]

It looks like you've been in emergency recovery now. How long did the gondola stop?

[Reporter]
Yes, according to the resort, the gondola failure occurred at 10:25 and the emergency engine was activated at 10:59.

It is officially said that the first failure was reported to the police and fire department at around 10:40 a.m.

However, the time passengers are actually exposed to the cold is expected to be longer than the failure time.

We got through to one passenger.

They boarded the gondola at around 9:55 a.m. and got off at around 11:10 a.m.

It was in the air for about an hour.

Jeonbuk, especially Muju, has a lot of snow.

According to the Korea Meteorological Administration, as of 11 a.m., Seolcheonbong Peak of Muju Deogyusan Mountain, that is, the top of the mountain is windy at minus 16.1 degrees Celsius and 4.3 meters per second.

At the same time, the temperature of the Muju Deogyusan Observatory, which is relatively below the mountain, was minus 11.5 degrees Celsius, indicating that passengers were exposed to very cold weather.

Every winter, many people visit the mountain to see the snow scene at Seolcheonbong Peak of Muju Deogyusan Mountain.

Deogyusan Resort Gondola is said to be in its 80s, and eight people can ride it.

Therefore, the maximum capacity can be calculated to be over 600 people.

It is said that all the passengers got off at the gondola now.

It seems that they gathered at a restaurant near the Seolcheonbong Gondola Harbour in the ski resort to avoid the cold.Resort

estimates that power has been cut off due to electrical factors, and the facility is being inspected.

After the inspection, it is expected that it will take some more time for the passengers to go down.

So far, the Jeonbuk Report Headquarters has delivered it.
