A daring rescue mission is underway in Pakistan, where eight people are trapped in a cable car hanging 240 meters above a ravine.

Pakistan’s National Disaster Management Authority said six children and two adults were among those confined to the chairlift, which rescue teams are attempting to reach by helicopter.

Video from the scene showed a member of the Pakistan army descending on a rope from a helicopter close to the cable car. The BBC is reporting that water and food were delivered to those on board.

Local media reports said the cable car wire snapped at around 7AM local time (7PM PST) in a mountain range in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Battagram district, 125 miles north of Islamabad.
