News report

Wahoo! It's finally christmas and in 7 more days, we'll be back to school!!!

NEWS REPORT
The Singapore flyer experienced a major power disruption, which left 173 passengers stranded for about six hours.

All trapped passengers were able to leave their capsules after the Singapore Flyer resumed rotating at about 11:11pm.

Earlier, a few passengers were lowered down to safety in a sling-like device from one of the observation capsules.

A spokeswoman for the attraction said about 173 people were onboard the wheel when a short circuit in one of the drive motors occurred at around 5:00pm.

Those stranded were provided with drinks and food.

OPINION
Christmas is here and the festive season begins but with a tourist attraction-The Singapore flyer-down, Singapore's tourism rate may go down. Many forigners who were stranded were not very happy with Singapore. the forigners complained that they did not know what was happening. In my opinion, the tourist or even Singaporeons planning to come to the singapore flyer will be down, even after the flyer is fixed and the problem is solved. But the worse hit areas are the resturant round the Singapore flyer. There would not be much people and buisness will be down.
