4am - security guard on duty
Motion sensor - it went off
Motion sensors and “video detectors” (do you mean “cameras”?) away from the towers? - what they should cover the steep and densely wooded rainforest mountain side with motion detectors and cameras?
Everything you suggested was already in place or easily thwarted or extremely impractical.
Short of a guard posted at each tower or Fort Knox fences around each tower I don’t see how this could be prevented. Even if the security guard watched this go down this morning live on their “video detector” the time it would take to respond to the scene would be more than enough for the perps to do the deed and get away.
The perps coulda called the cops and said “we are gonna climb up and cut the cable in half an hour” and still they coulda easily got away with it.

Whatabout high voltage on the Gondi cables after hours? That might work against the hazard fraught wheel cutter.
Would voltage jump the flame of an oxy torch?
At the least, they could electric fence the towers and loading zones.
Or land sharks with laser beams

None of those will protect the cable from the direct energy weapons.

Well, yeah, you win that one.
But maybe it was rods from god?
Dew sounds so pleasant. But a god rod can really ruin your day. . .

So they should have positioned some lunatic fringe militia in the rainforest covered in war paint camouflage, Canadian Rambo style? Or maybe a guy with mental issues and a huge automatic rifle? Oh wait... maybe both?
If history has taught us one thing it's That lunatics with guns have solved most of mankind's problems.It's a war of the mind and we're armed to the teeth.

How hard would it be to rig a big spring to the top of the ladder, with a remote controlled latch? When the alarm goes off, and the attendant verifies a miscreant is climbing the ladder by video, he releases the latch and the perpetrator is launched into orbit!

I'm surprised puregravity hasn't checked in to this thread yet.

My theory: Jesse Jones involved in insurance fraud scheme

Is Jason Faulkner still involved these days? Scandals seem to follow him around. My theory is he discovered insurance fraud pays better than the gondola business.

Perhaps they should rename it Sky to Earth gondola.

I think this is a scheme by the folks over in Big Funicular.
I still call it The Jake.
