Sea to Sky Gondola cable cut AGAIN

Princess Auto chop saw(s).

FIFY, because Canada, eh.

4am
Motion where it shouldn’t be.
Motion and video detectors far from the towers.
Ultra bright floodlights.

Sharks with laser beams if necessary

Five to ten million in damages allows a bit of budget for prevention for intentional sabotage



Although the fire and smoke does provide nice cover

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

[bennymac]

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

[Core Shot]

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

Harbor Freight chop saw(s).

You'll need a few as the first one won't work at all, and the second will likely wear out halfway through the effort.

Sure, but how many can you return within the 90 day warranty?

I always laughed at the idea of video cameras being used to prevent crimes.... at best they can lead to the identification of a perpetrator for later apprehension. But for the most part all they do is document the fact that a fucking crime happened.

You got it. The police are not that fast. All they do is investigate and punish. They don't stop it from happening. That's up to you.

Just sayin

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.

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!

[Cono Este]

Must have been a serious shit show watching those cars come down.

By the way, in the sentence above is it "in to" or "into?"

Good way to end up paying the perpetrator for the rest of his life.

If you can figure out where he is orbitting.

Not out of the realm of possibility. Rambo was filmed not far away in Hope and Pitt Meadows. I read once a bunch of weapons they had to import for the film production were stolen during filming, so they are out there.....

or some guy who decided it was worth putting out the money to buy the better quality battery powered angle grinder to giturdoneright

That could explain all the smoke and mirrors wind and squirrel theories. Classic misdirection.

My theory: Jesse Jones involved in insurance fraud scheme

[xyz]

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.

[Timberridge]

Perhaps they should rename it Sky to Earth gondola.

[BmillsSkier]

I think this is a scheme by the folks over in Big Funicular.

The guitarist from Jellyfish?

That must've been some guitar solo.

[rideit]

I used to like Jellyfish a lot.
Carry on.
