Singapore probes blaze at world's biggest Ferris wheel
2 hours ago
SINGAPORE (AFP) — Singapore officials on Wednesday were investigating a fire at the world's biggest observation wheel that left almost 175 tourists trapped for hours, some of them dangling high in the sky.
Tuesday night's fire in the control room of the Singapore Flyer shut down the 42-storey high observation wheel, leaving customers stuck for six hours before power was restored.
Rescue teams brought 10 people down in a sling in a dramatic operation while others waited in the Flyer's cars, each one enclosed and about the size of a small city bus, until the power came back and the wheel began turning again.
Police said they had ordered the attraction closed pending an inquiry into the incident, the fourth power outage at the Flyer since it opened earlier this year.
"A thorough investigation is being conducted," said Fulvia Wong, a spokeswoman for the operator of the Singapore Flyer, one of the city-state's most popular tourist attractions.
A total of 173 passengers were aboard the Flyer when a small electrical fire caused the stoppage, said Steven Yeo, general manager of the attraction. It was the fourth power outage at the Flyer so far.
"I love Singapore but I don't think I'll come to the Flyer again," said Meta Hartono, an Indonesian visitor who told of trapped passengers urinating in plastic bags while hanging in the air waiting to be rescued.
At 165 metres (540 feet), the Singapore Flyer is 30 metres taller than Britain's London Eye.
Unlike old-style Ferris wheel carriages that hang in the open air, the Singapore Flyer and other large observation wheels feature fixed capsules.
The Flyer has 28 capsules, which can each hold 28 people, and passengers can walk around during the slowly-moving ride.
Passengers can enjoy a panoramic view of Singapore, and on a clear day they can have a glimpse of neighbouring Malaysia and Indonesia.
"I was just worried about my baby," an Indonesian tourist, who gave his name as Aditya, said late Tuesday. He was travelling with his two children, aged 11 months and five years.
The Singapore Flyer, which cost about 240 million Singapore dollars (171 million US) to build, is a private venture.
Great Wheel Corp, which built the Flyer, is also building wheels in Beijing and Berlin that will edge out Singapore's as the biggest in the world.

<!-- START OF : div id="storytext"--><!-- more than 4 paragraphs -->DRESSED in dark blue overalls, the men who plucked stranded passengers from the Singapore Flyer on Tuesday looked like elite rescue workers from the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF).
But they were actually from a private company, and more used to spending their days cleaning windows on high-rise buildings or repairing ships.
The team from Dive-Marine Services, however, is the only group trained in rescuing passengers from the 165m-tall observation wheel.
When the attraction ground to a halt on Tuesday afternoon with 173 people on board, the Dive-Marine team was among the first to get the call.
Because of a traffic jam on the Ayer Rajah Expressway, they got to the scene only around 7pm, about two hours after an electrical fire and power failure stopped the Flyer dead.
Contracted by Flyer management, the men had clambered along the spokes of the 42-storey wheel twice before, in day-long drills in February this year.
From those experiences, the company drew up a plan to rescue stranded passengers, a document that was completed in April, according to Mr Sean Tan, the company's rope access division manager.
'I believe in one thing: never trust in that one-in-a-million chance because that one-in-a-million chance will happen,' he said.
Rescuers, equipped with two sets of 200m ropes weighing 20kg, harnesses, pulley systems and karabiners, climbed up emergency ladders and on the wheel's spokes to reach the marooned capsules.
Once there, they hooked passengers into harnesses and winched them down - some in tandem. Eleven people in all went through the harrowing journey, which took less than 3 minutes.
Rescuers also embarked on a 40-minute ascent to a capsule near the apex of the Flyer, which contained a hungry baby. A team arrived with a haversack filled with milk and food, to the relief of the baby's mother.
Mr Sky Lee was part of the team that delivered the refreshments. 'When they saw me, they said 'Finally you are here',' he recalled yesterday.
Dive-Marine, which was established in 1974 and is based in Toh Guan Road East, was planning to winch down all 173 people. But around 11.10pm, the Flyer creaked back to life, negating the rescue plan. They had rescued 11 people in under four hours.
While those 11 went willingly, Mr Tan said there were some in other capsules that were too afraid to go down that way.
According to Mr Tan, Dive-Marine rescuers followed the rescue plan to a T. He said the winch system, while time consuming, was the safest and best option.
'There's no other better way to get them down.'
In all, there were 15 Dive-Marine people involved on Tuesday. Most were men in their 20s and early 30s, said Mr Tan. All have more than 2,000 hours of experience working on ropes and at height.
The speed of the effort caught some off guard, though. Said rescuer Donaldo Abringe, 50: 'I was wearing just a T-shirt and jeans, there was no time to change.'
The SCDF, including its Disaster Assistance and Rescue Team, was on hand to help, though its officers were not trained in Flyer rescue.
Mr Tan says his company does mostly building maintenance work like repairs and has worked on Suntec City, The Esplanade, Republic Plaza and the Benjamin Sheares Bridge.

<!-- START OF : div id="storytext"--><!-- more than 4 paragraphs -->THE 165m Singapore Flyer is owned by Singapore Flyer Pte Ltd, a 75:25 joint venture between German engineering group Melchers Project Management and consulting firm Orient & Pacific Management.
Japan's Mitsubishi Corporation and Takenaka Corporation were the contractors for the Flyer; the engines that caught fire were made in Japan.
The Flyer is currently run by the Great Wheel Corporation, which is also involved in 20 similar projects around the world - two of which will dwarf the Singapore Flyer.
One in Germany will become Europe's largest wheel at 185m; another is the Great Beijing Wheel, which, when completed in 2010, will become the world's biggest observation wheel at 208m in height.
It is being designed by the same team of architects behind the London Eye.
Marketing and selling tickets for the Flyer is NTUC unit Adval Brand Group, which has guaranteed ticket sales of ¥8 million (S$16 million) per year, based on 600,000 visits. Earlier this year, the Singapore Flyer said it is on track to hit its target of 2.5 million visitors in its first year of operations.

ADVAL WELL PLACED TO LEAD SINGAPORE FLYER TO SUCCESS
Singapore, 27 September, 2005: Adval Brand Group Pte Ltd, the exclusive agent for the Singapore Flyer, will play an important role in the sales, marketing and ticket distribution of the Singapore Flyer.
Adval’s advantage is the strong working relationship with Singapore Tourism Board and the strategic alliances with key industry partners. Their global presence is established through having a region-wide distribution network in place. As an associate of NTUC Club, Adval’s ability to leverage on sister companies and partners - all specialists in the leisure and tourism industry – enables it to offer a synergistic and holistic approach to the marketing of the Singapore Flyer. This has provided Adval with a strong foundation and the critical factors to ensure it’s success in this role.
Mr Chng Hee Kok, Chief Executive of NTUC Club said, “NTUC Club, together with Adval, can justifiably be regarded as the single most experienced owner, operator, and marketer of Visitor Attractions in Singapore, with an established distribution network in the top arrival countries to Singapore. This will provide an excellent platform to build a successful sales and marketing Programme for the Singapore Flyer.”
Adval will also be working closely with the Singapore Tourism Board and its offices around the world to market the Singapore Flyer. Mr Chang Chee Pey, Director, Sightseeing & Cruise Cluster Development, STB said, “Adval and STB have consistently enjoyed a close partnership that has resulted in many successfully implemented projects. Adval’s extensive experience has enabled it to deliver international campaigns through from concept phase to successful roll-outs.”
Adval’s marketing concept for the Singapore Flyer is to create a unique and memorable experience for each and every visitor and to encourage the target audience to make repeated trips to view it at different times of the day and night and experience the Singapore Flyer as an eventful place. Visitors can expect a series of spectacular events throughout the year that will enhance the appeal of the main attraction. Adval will also be targeting the important local market with the aim to foster all Singaporeans as ambassadors of the Singapore Flyer.
Singapore Flyer Pte Ltd Managing Director, Mr Peter Purcell said that working with Adval for the past year and a half has given him full confidence in their ability to lead the Singapore Flyer to new heights. “Adval shares our passion to make the Singapore Flyer one of Asia’s most important and visible iconic attractions. They have the expertise, networks and drive to ensure that our project will be a resounding success,” he said.
For Ms Patsy Ong, Managing Director of Adval, being part of a team working to transform the Singapore Flyer into a reality gives her a sense of great pride. “The innate human fascination with scale and height and the desire to view cities and landscapes from the air will be one of the Singapore Flyer’s key selling points. Adval’s role is to give the Singapore Flyer a ‘heart beat’, to evoke a sense of affection in its visitors by constantly refreshing its appeal. We want to create an experience that locals and visitors alike will remember and recognize, one that will make the Singapore Flyer a must-try experience. The overall objective is to achieve a strong brand recognition among travelers and locals as a brand logo of Singapore, a fun and eventful place.
Actually the German guy wouldnt lose so much,as the ticket sales is guaranteed by NTUC,8 million pounds,fortunately for NTUC or NTUC Sinkies,pound has collapsed.
