Singapore Flyer broke down at 4.15p.m. Out of the 28 cabins, 23 were occupied. Many passengers had to exit from the even when they were at great heights. This has been the 2nd time the Singapore flyer broke down this year.



The manager incharged of the Singapore flyer reports the reason of the Singapore flyer break down: There are a total of six power sources powering the flyer, one of them broke down that night causing a system shut down which resulted in the Singapore flyers breakdown



The flyer is still closed for pending investigations.



OPINIONS:



As a new tourist attraction, there must have been many foreign tourists on the flyer, many of them who experienced the flyer's break down would already have a bad impression of this new tourists' attraction and inform the others in their own country of their experience on the flyer and they may not want to take the Singapore Flyer which will become a great money-earning opportunity lost.
