I hope your kidding. They're in a rack that holds them from moving.
The rotating cabin is a real thing....

You should check both Kingsman movies out! great throwbacks to the Connery and Moore era Bond films in a modern day setting. Delightfully witty and violent!

I have seen the first one, loved it. Just haven't gotten around to the second one. I will admit, the tie in Statesmen Bourbon from Old Forester is pretty amazing.
If you've got a mouth full of metal like that, chances are you won't make it thru the metal detector unnoticed...Speaking of James Bond's Jaws, we have not seen a solution to this cause of Skyliner catastrophe:

It sure is. I rode this back in 1996 when I visited Switzerland. They changed the cars from having a see-thru bottom though...

He doesn't really say anything new in this video, but the footage of the gondolas riding over the lake is beautiful:

For communication.from inside the cabin to outside, there are colored flares under the seats.
For communication from the ground to the cabin, the will be a group 23 CM's who will yell really loud from the ground in all the different languages found at the map.racks.

Stop with these logical, well thought out, intelligent posts stating actual facts...it was posted on some guys Facebook page that he heard from a CM that it was 120 degrees in there so it’s obviously true

Took the words right out of my mouth. You'd have to wonder if they ever considered a 911 situation in their car on a deserted stretch of highway in a desert or mountain pass. One has to wonder what part of 7 minutes people don't understand.

I hated this character so much.
Even as a young kid, it made no sense even in a movie.
So, metal teeth in a human jaw, limited by human jaw muscles and bone strength?
What could that do?
So, laser-firing wrist watches, Aston-Martins with ejection seats, spaceship-swallowing spaceships, rocket bases in extinct volcanoes, and hijacked nuclear bombers didn't faze you?

Hey, those might come in as "plausible" on the Mythbusters, though the laser wrist watch is beyond currently known technology and the spaceship and rocket bases are both too expensive even for S.P.E.C.T.R.E.. They wouldn't need to extort any money if they had enough to build those.
The thing that bothered me the most in You Only Live Twice was the footage of the American and Russian launches. For the American launch it looked like an unmanned Atlas-Agena launch vehicle and the Russian launch was clearly a Titan II Gemini launch vehicle. They really should have switched the two and most people wouldn't have noticed because the Atlas-Agena was much less well-known than the manned Gemini-Titan vehicles.
One little tidbit about the Atlas-Agena launch vehicle is that it depended on pressurization to maintain structural integrity. Here is a video of one losing pressurization on the pad and collapsing:
And now back to the gondola discussion...
Edited to add: Here's a fascinating look at this incident. Hurts even more to know that there was a KH-7 sitting on top of this, according to the comments to the article that correct and expand on the article itself.

Or walking through the parking lot. I'd bet if one person calls 911 from the middle of the TTC lot and another person calls 911 right after the gondola leaves the station, the EMT won't reach the person in the parking lot any faster.
If anybody thinks riding the gondola is a risk, take a hike in a national park. Good luck if you have an emergency and there is no cell service (as there usually isn't). Same driving some very rural highways out west.
