Officials rescued 21 hospitality workers from two trams after their rides home from a fancy restaurant were halted over safety concerns in the early morning hours Saturday.
The New Year got off to a terrifying start for nearly two dozen people who spent hours stranded in icy tram cabs dangling above the Sandia Mountains in New Mexico.
Twenty people in one gondola were airlifted out of the first tram and hiked down the mountain with the help of rescue workers by about 1 p.m., officials said. A lone passenger stranded in a second car was rescued by 4 p.m.
