FIRE DESTROYS LIFT IN TIGNES
A blaze has destroyed the top station of the TC gondola.
Helicopters had to bring in water so the fire could be brought under control.
The flames leapt above the roof of the building and a thick column of black smoke could be seen from many miles away

Strewth, that’s a lot of damage that’s going to put a dent in the season.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Seems to be the gondola up from Les Brevieres...but it being called the TC Gondola is news to me

Calm down!
As reported on the Tignes thread, it was an accident caused by a thermal torch being used to dismantle the thing ahead of the new one being built. Lucky it didn't spread to the Boisses lift though.
Typical sensationalist nonsense from Planet Ski - the full details were in Le Dauphine last night, can't even get the name right - TC Sache!!! - PlanetFalseNewsSki

Some muppet is interpreting the French TC (short for Télécabine) as the name of the lift.

Planet Ski is getting worse as an org. They love their click bait, sensationalist stories, tenuous links to skiing. Everything I hate about journalism’. Uugh
