An investigation is underway after a gondola cabin carrying eight passengers fell to the ground at Kicking Horse Mountain Resort near Golden, B.C.

The incident occurred on March 10, involving passengers on the Golden Eagle Express gondola, who fell about one metre to the ground when a lift hanger broke on the carrier as it was leaving the bottom station, the resort said in a statement.
