Three people were killed and nine left injured after a chairlift cable snapped over Russia's highest mountain.
The accident happened on September 12 on the slopes of Mount Elbrus, in the North Caucasus republic of Kabardino-Balkaria, where 37 people were riding the cableway.
Officials said suspended chairs crashed down onto rocks with people still inside. Nine people were taken to hospital with injuries, and three people died at the scene.
Following the incident, a group of 25 tourists were left stranded on the mountain without their backpacks or warm clothing which remained in the cabins.
They were forced to spend the night in cold shelters.
