LAHORE - Teenage boys rescued from a stranded cable car that dangled over a deep Pakistan ravine for more than 12 hours walked to school on Wednesday to collect their exam results.
Six students were among eight people rescued on Tuesday by military helicopters and local zipline experts as night fell in the remote Allai valley in northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.

They were taking the chairlift to school as usual -- with three due to collect their end of year exam results -- when two of the three cables snapped.
"When this incident happened, I forgot everything. All I remembered at that time was my mother and God," said 18-year-old Niaz Muhammad from Pashto village.
On Wednesday the three students walked two hours to school along a hilly path to find out they had passed their exams, before they sought further medical check-ups.
