That day at 14.07, an incident occurred with the electric motor that circulated the Cable 1 cabin. What was worse, the thermal engine that would take over also did not function. At the first cable car command post on Île-de-France, operators knew the procedures if the cabin got stuck in the air.
“Hello firefighters, this is the operator at PCC Cable 1. We need your intervention,” simulated Axel de la Moissonnière. The Head of Cable 1 for Transdev served as operator, for the first major evacuation exercise held with the Paris fire brigade (BSPP).
