SINGAPORE - The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) and Police were alerted to a cable car incident at Sentosa this evening.
According to a tweet by The New Paper at 7:02pm, an empty cable car fell at Siloso Beach.
"Worker trapped inside another suspended car. SCDF and police on site, rescue operations underway," TNP tweeted.
A second tweet at 7:27pm stated that the worker had been rescued.
SCDF later released a statement at 7:30pm confirming that its officers were onsite.
"A cable car cabin undergoing commissioning fell during testing. There was no one onboard the cabin," SCDF said.
"There was an engineer in another cabin which was unaffected.
"The cabin has since been moved safely to Imbiah Station and the engineer is fine. There are no casualties."
Members from SCDF's Disaster Assistance and Rescue Team were also at the scene on standby.
SCDF added that the existing cable car line was unaffected and remains in operation.

Luckily no one is injured :)

 

Hopefully they can continue to test in-depth on the new cabin during this commissioning period and find out why it fell this time... solve this problem so that we can ride safely when it is put on line in the near future.

+ double-sided tape, super glue......

 

doesn't help when there are so many vendors touting its effectiveness. You go pasar malam see them demonstrate how super their super glue....... cut slipper into half, glue back, and it's brand new w/o cut line anymore......

 

Many buy happily, buy w/o realising the reality...... that you are most likely to use it on an old pair of slippers/or whatever things that broke...... and it won't work.

 

can use cable tie?

Now many replacement parts from China. [sweatdrop]

 

Cheap but No good. [shakehead]

Was going to say that,

 

Just look at the freq of those old MIJ lifs of HDB & those new flats or LUP's new MIC lifts, compare the breakdown rate.

 

MIJ Kawasaki Heavy Industry's Trains Vs the newer fleet of MIC trains...

 

Glad no one was hurt.

Turbocharged

Apparently they said it's a new line of cable car. Not the current old one which had an incident back in 1983.

MRT breakdown before National Day (8Aug).

Cable car falls after National Day (10Aug).

 

Everyone should be thankful that nothing happened on National Day.
