STRANDED ON SINGAPORE FLYER

The largest and the tallest (for now) observation wheel or better known as the Singapore Flyer was stopped temporary on 23rd December due to some "technical" failures. 23 out of 28 capsules, there was a total of 173 passengers at that time.

Time occured: Aproximately 4.15 p.m.
Time rescued: At 10.30 p.m.
Total time stranded: Approximately 6 hours, 15 minutes

Since the Flyer became operational in February this year, this is the third time it has encountered problems.

The last time a technical glitch occured was just three weeks ago, on December 4. The wheel was stuck for nearly five hours due to extreme weather conditions and some 70 people were affected.

In July, the Flyer stopped due to a minor fault in the braking system.
