A man was killed and a woman is fighting for her life in the hospital after being knocked out of a sightseeing gondola by a drilling machine at a popular Montreal resort.
The CBC reported that police in Quebec said the accident was caused by a drilling machine, but that they are unsure why the machine was being operated under the gondola and are not ruling out criminal negligence.
