High winds hamper attempts to rescue six children and two teachers stranded above ravine
Six children and two teachers were trapped in a chairlift hanging 274 metres (900ft) above a ravine in Pakistan after a cable snapped, with a helicopter rescue mission being hampered by high winds, officials said.
The children, who have been stranded since 7am local time (0200 BST), were using the chairlift to get to school in a mountainous area in Battagram, about 125 miles north of Islamabad.
