What should have been a relaxing ski holiday ended in absolute horror for Sebastian Hertner and his wife. The former German footballer, just 34 years old, fell 70 metres to his death when a chairlift suddenly broke away from its cable at Montenegro's Savin Kuk resort. His wife watched it all happen, then found herself trapped in the dangling chair with a broken leg.
The tragedy, which occurred on Saturday near the mountain town of Zabljak, has been compounded by outrage after reports emerged that the ski lift was operating again the very next day, despite an ongoing investigation into the catastrophic failure.
