SINGAPORE - Two workers were taken to hospital on Thursday morning after a gondola tipped sideways from the top of a 15-storey HDB block in Boon Lay Drive.

In response to queries, the SCDF said that a worker was seen on the ledge at the 15th storey beside a lopsided gondola. The worker was brought in safely through the unit’s windows by the SCDF. Mdm Kong told The Straits Times: “When I saw the gondola, I told my maid that what they were doing was very dangerous. The moment I said that, I saw the whole gondola fall.”

“The whole thing scared me, my heart jumped, and I screamed,” Mdm Kong said. She added that one of the workers almost fell but managed to hold on to the wall and stabilise himself.
