Story highlights Dozens will spend the night on cable cars 65 people rescued after being trapped in cable cars in French Alps
     Forty-five people remain trapped overnight in
cable cars dangling high above the ground in the French Alps, officials said. Rescue operations will resume Friday during daylight, authorities said.
Helicopters rescued 65 of the 110 riders trapped in the Chamonix region near Mont Blanc earlier Thursday, a local government official with knowledge of the operation.
     Officials had cautioned earlier that the rescue attempt was dependent on weather conditions and nightfall. The official said there were "blankets and rationing" in the cabin for these kind of situations. The cars are at an altitude of nearly 12,000 feet. The incident happened about 4:30 p.m. local time, after two cables crossed over each other, the official said. French and Italian helicopters were used to get passengers to safety, Chamonix Mayor Eric Fournier told CNN affiliate BFMTV.
     A tourist from Australia posted a picture on Instagram after riding the cable car in Chamonix earlier. "I've done a lot of cable cars in my time and this one was definitely the fastest and bouncier... " Louise Banks said. "I was also surprised that the attendants opened the door to the cable car when the cable car was still swinging to and fro when it came into the landing bay..."
     Another tourist from South Africa posted a video showing spectacular views of snow-capped mountains taken before the incident.
