One of the 33 tourists who spent a night in cable cars in the French Alps, is escorted by rescuers and police officers after being brought to the ground on September 9, 2016 in Courmayeur. A total of 110 people became trapped when the cable cars ground to a halt shortly before 4:00 pm (1400 GMT) on September 8 at an altitude of 3,800 metres (12,500 feet) in the Mont Blanc region. Seventy-seven people were rescued, including 48 airlifted out by helicopter in a delicate operation as darkness fell. But with darkness falling and the weather deteriorating, the rescue operation was suspended, leaving 33 tourists, one of them a 10-year-old child, forced to spend the night dangling in mid-air. / AFP PHOTO / Jean-Pierre CLATOTJEAN-PIERRE CLATOT/AFP/Getty Images
