Yeah not to far from me the big disaster of the Year!
The ski lift at Devils Head broke, all the lifts started going backwards fast (yes with people on them).
Centrifugal force at the turn points made the lifts swing out like amusement park rides striking the lift building and broke it apart.
If you snow board you know how hard it would be to jump off with a 25 to 30 foot drop.
The weird thing is the owner and managers first thing they did was kick all the news reporters out, and were more worried about people shooting video with cameras and cell phones then rescuing people!
We are now a You Tube Sensitive???
What??
