	Cable Car Tragedy, Singapore - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An accident on the Singapore Cable Car system occurred at about 6 pm on 29 January 1983, when the derrick of the Eniwetok, a Panamanian-registered oil rig, passed under the cable cars and struck the cable that stretched over the waterway between the Jardine Steps Station and the Sentosa Station.
		The accident was the first involving death or injury since the cable car system opened in February 1974.
		In the air, the 120 Squadron of the RSAF were tasked to rescue the people who were still trapped in the four cable cars, as the cars could not be moved along the remaining cables.
