Villagers count on perilous cable cars in Turkey's tea mountains
Kasim Karaosman, 90, carefully hoists himself onto a rickety cable car – which he made himself more than 50 years ago – before the contraption shoots him 300 meters across a deep mountain valley to his home. The makeshift machines are essential in these villages in northeast Turkey, where locals harvest tea leaves in fields inaccessible by car. But a string of deaths and hair-raising accidents has sent a shudder of fear through the community.
