SINGAPORE – Two workers were rescued after the gondola they were on tipped over and was suspended almost vertically outside Raffles City Tower on July 21.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said that it responded to the height rescue incident, between the 28th and 29th floors of the building, at about 11.20am.
“Upon arrival, firefighters immediately checked on the gondola’s stability, as well as the condition of the workers on the gondola,” SCDF said in a Facebook post at about 2pm.
Rescuers from the Disaster Assistance and Rescue Team (Dart) had set up rescue equipment on the 29th and 30th floor.
The gondola was then secured with safety lines before a Dart rescuer descended onto the gondola.
The workers, who were wearing body harnesses at the time, were then brought into the building through the windows on levels 29 and 30, SCDF said.
Both workers were assessed by a paramedic and taken to Raffles Hospital in a stable condition, SCDF added.
