Emergency helicopters rescued 20 people on Saturday who had been trapped for 17 hours overnight on an Alpine cable car near Germany's most famous castle.

 

Helicopter crews lifted the cable car operator and 19 tourists to safety early Saturday from a gondola suspended 330 feet (100 meters) above the ground on Tegelberg mountain in southern Germany, emergency services spokesman Roland Ampenberger said. (AP)
