Seconds from disaster S4E5 Alpine collision (HD)

On February 3, 1998, a low-flying Northrop Grumman EA-6B Prowler of the United States Marine Corps hits the support cable of an aerial tramway near the Italian town of Cavalese, severing it. The cabin immediately plummets to the ground, killing the 20 occupants. The aircraft, though severely damaged by the cable, lands safely.
