A significant blackout affected parts of Spain and Portugal, causing chaos as traps, including stranded skiers and children in lifts, highlighted infrastructure issues. In Granada's Sierra Nevada, ski lifts halted, requiring rescues, while in Eibar, a public lift held 11 people for hours. Rescuers managed to provide care, like water and provisions, during the ordeal. Many others adapted by gathering at bars during the outage. While some struggled, the incident served as a stark reminder of how unprepared for such scenarios modern developments may be.
The hours-long blackout left many stranded, including skiers hanging in gondolas and children trapped in a lift, revealing the vulnerabilities of modern infrastructure.
It's unbelievable that this could happen... Nobody can understand how, in the 21st century, we ended up spending so much time in a lift.
