People Trapped on Ferris Wheel

It seemed people were stuck on that thing for 6 hours.

The Singapore Flyer stopped working after a short circuit in one of the wheel's motor drivers cut its power supply, a company spokeswoman said.

There were 173 people, including many tourists, trapped inside the huge tourist attraction.

Does it really take 6 hours to change a short circuited motor? I guess they didn't have an emergency backup source of power for such a massive ferris wheel. I guess this will get people to think twice before they get on one of these things.
