The boy who survived last weekend's deadly cable car crash in the Italian mountains is awake and will soon be moved out of intensive care, the hospital said on Thursday. Italian police on Wednesday arrested three senior managers from the cable car operating company over Sunday's tragedy. They are accused of deliberately deactivating the emergency brake that should have prevented the cable car from falling backwards when the cable snapped. Marcella Severino, the mayor of the town of Stresa where the cable car started out, told the paper the boy's aunt - his father's sister - was looking after him. Updating parliament on the incident earlier Thursday, Transport Minister Enrico Giovannini outlined how the cable car hit a support pillar before plunging to the ground.
