For those who don't know, this was where roughly two dozen people died from a US aircraft clipping their cable car and causing the cable car to go crashing to the ground. Rest in Peace to all the victims.
Just found out that this wasn't the only tragic accident on this cable car. There was another even worse accident on 9. March 1976 with 42 fatalities and 1 survivor, apparently the worst ever accident that ever occured on a cable car (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1976_Cavalese_cable_car_crash). There is an interesting article at: www.corriere.it/foto-gallery/cronache/16_marzo_08/40-anni-fa-prima-tragedia-cermis-65eae7b2-e575-11e5-8d3e-8e6fff19822f.shtml Documentary: th-cam.com/video/BzJlOn4p4ak/w-d-xo.html And videos of the wreckage at: www.britishpathe.com/asset/123322/ reuters.screenocean.com/record/242456
If you mean the light that's towards the end of the video it's just a reflection of a light in a TV screen. The last part of the video was taken by a camcorder looking at a screen.

Sad that if some stuff like this happened on American soil, it would have start a whole national feud.
The date on the video is incorrect: The accident happened on Feb. 3, 1998
You're right, it should say 27. February 1998. I put a note in the video description about this.
Why does it say 1997 on the screen?
The year was wrong on the camera. It was on 3. February 1998 when the accident happened. The date on camera should say 27.2.1998.
Wrong date
Sorry I don't understand the language, can you tell me what that light is that we're looking at please?
