The estates of those who were injured or died, will now sue whoever stands still long enough, for millions and millions of pounds. It'll probably be spread between the helicopter company, the cable car company and the local authorities.
The wrangling over who pays what amount will take years, but the bottom line is: someone will pay big bucks.

Now for a tiny fraction of this payout, the cable car company could have closed on the days the loadlifting was done and been re-imbursed by the company doing the construction work. And that company could have charged the local authority that same amount to cover their charges.
Some people just don't believe it'll happen to them I guess.

Oh well ... they won't do it again
