New Delhi: A chilling video of the horrible Deoghar ropeway accident which took place in Jharkhand on Sunday has been shared on social media as one of the passengers of the ill-fated cable car shot the entire mishap over his phone.

The 1-minute 18-second long video shows how exactly the two trolleys crashed into each other 1,500-feet above the ground due to some technical snag.  

The video begins with all joyful feelings of riders and tourists. The footage initially shows a panoramic view of the beautiful Trikut hills covered with ecstatic greenery.

Everything turns horrific the very next moment with a massive jolt in the cabin after the collision. The powerful hit shakes the tourist's phone leading to blacking out of the video. 

The phone, however, continues to record the screams of riders.

Three people were killed while being rescued from cable cars at Trikut hills after the ropeway connecting a hill malfunctioned on Sunday afternoon. Around 60 people have been safely evacuated with the help of Indian Air Force helicopters.

Acting on the request of the Jharkhand government, the IAF deployed one Mi-17 and one Mi-17 V5 helicopter early Monday morning. The IAF contingent also had a component of IAF Garud Commandos to conduct the operations.

The Trikut ropeway is one of the highest vertical ropeways and has a maximum lens angle of 44 degrees. 

It has been built some 20 km from Baba Baidyanath Temple and is about 766-metres-long. The Trikut hill is 392-metres-high. The ropeway has 25 cabins and each can seat four people.
