Rescue mission for the stranded passengers of the Singapore Flyer

My family and I were on a large ferris wheel yesterday afternoon, in carriage 28 to be exact.

It went for six rounds under the afternoon sun at about 5.00pm. At that moment the Singapore Flyer went kaput and 173 people were stranded on the 165 metre high Ferris Wheel.

Well, lucky for us. We were riding a Ferris Wheel during that time alright but in a different one. We were in carriage 28 of the Eye On Malaysia in Melaka, not the one in Singapore.

There was a Singaporean family on carriage 29 and they must be thankful that they were in a Malaysian Ferris Wheel rather than the faulty Singaporean wheel. - Loka
