Some even experienced shortness of breath when the Taming Sari Tower stopped midway.
terrifying. Imagine how these tourists must’ve felt when the moving vertical platform or observation deck of the famous Taming Sari Tower stopped working.
Yesterday , it was reported that 36 visitors were stuck in the iconic revolving gyro tower in Bandar Hilir, Melaka, for about an hour. According to NST, it was said that the Taming Sari’s platform stopped moving halfway through its descent from the top, leaving the trapped tourist hanging 60-metres above the ground.The incident apparently occurred at around 5:30pm.
“I assumed the platform came to a halt to allow tourists to take pictures. After a while, I discovered that the platform had stopped due to a power outage,”Apparently, some of the tourists experienced shortness of breath because the platform of the 110-metre-tall tower has no windows and only 1 service door. Thankfully, tower management sent maintenance workers to do repairs on the halted observation deck and manually brought it down so that the passengers were able to exit safely.
Melaka Fire and Rescue Department arrived at the scene shortly after receiving a distress call at around 5:58pm. However, due to the power outage, it was said that the fire personnel had to pry open the door so that everyone could exit the panoramic tower’s platform.
