    Three die in Armenia cable car crash



    YEREVAN, April 2 (Reuters) - A cablecar in the capital of Armenia
    fell 10 metres (30 feet) to the ground on Friday, killing three
    passengers and injuring eight, the state emergencies service said.

    It said in a statement that two people died on the spot when a
    12-seat cabin fell into a courtyard. Nine passengers were rushed to
    hospital, where one died later.

    There have been no official statements as to what had caused the
    accident on the cablecar operating from the city centre to a hillside
    residential district. A manager of the company running the link
    suggested in a television interview that unusually strong winds might
    have been the reason.
