Russia has closed a major resort to tourists after an attack on a popular ski resort that left four dead. The four weren’t killed when this tram crashed, but when a group of suspected Islamist gunmen fired on a bus near the base of the mountain. According to local reports, a bomb blast later blew up the lift tower that sent this cable car crashing down, though it must have been empty since no one was hurt.
