Hundreds Stranded On The London Eye

If it can happen in London, it might happen on the Singapore Flyer too. You’d probably think Marina Bay doesn’t offer such a nice view when you’ve been up in the air for an hour or so and you badly need to pee.

Sightseers were suspended up to 450 feet above the ground on Monday night as workmen repaired one of the four huge tires that turn the observation wheel.

Staff spoke to visitors over an intercom system fitted in each of the 32 glass pods. They were offered water, blankets and glucose tablets stored in "comfort packs."

Radical Housing Solution: One Million Residents In A Single Tower


Can you imagine living in a massive tower block where your neighbourhood of 600 people live on a single floor and a ‘village’ is on 20 floors?

Circular openings in sections of the tower will provide nature-y parks and gardens for citizens. Five circulation cores with massive elevators–think the Tube, except it goes up and down instead of weaving underground–transport residents from neighborhood to neighborhood. Water and waste will be recycled, and fresh water harvested from the clouds, which pretty much start right around where the tower’s peak ends.

I think it’ll be an eye-sore in such a beautiful city as London or even Singapore, though.

Marriage Proposal Plan Went Horribly Wrong


A man, looking for an unusual way to propose to his girlfriend, asked a florist to put a £6,000 diamond ring in a helium balloon, but as soon as he left the shop, a gust of wind blew away the balloons.

Keeping his prize in sight, Mr Hajji, from Hackney, London, pursued the balloons for two hours in his car across London before giving them up as lost.

He told the Sun newspaper: "I couldn’t believe it. I just watched as it went further and further into the air.

"I felt like such a plonker. It cost a fortune and I knew my girlfriend would kill me."

So clever!

Premature Baby Falls From Train And Survives


This is just miraculous. A woman in India, who was travelling on an overnight train, went to the loo and unexpectedly gave birth to a baby prematurely. Possibly the loss of blood during the birth overwhelmed her and she passed out and somehow the baby dropped through a hole in the toilet, which Indian trains are known to have (note to self: do not walk along Indian railway tracks!).

It’s not known how fast the train was going at the time, but train officials discovered the baby a couple of stations back after the train had made an emergency stop and a frantic search was conducted. The baby was found after nearly 2 hours.

Incredible how a baby that tiny can survive such a fall. The miracle of the human body.

UK Proposes Temporary Sterilization Of Girls To Reduce Rate Of Teen Pregnancies


Developments in temporary contraceptive jabs that will effectively sterilize a girl for up to five years has led one minister in the UK to propose that all teenage girls be sterilized. UK has the highest rate of teenage pregnancies in Europe.

No doubt that statistic isn’t something to be proud of, but to take away a girl’s right to her own body and forcing her to be sterilized? I don’t know if I like the sound of that.

What do you think?

Angry residents turned the tables on a couple of men who had come to enforce a parking rule. They blocked their car and clamped it for three hours, forcing them to unclamp the resident’s cars before letting them go.

The problem appears to have started when Ringley, the flats’ managing agents, sent out letters to the residents’ old addresses, who were then unaware when the scheme would begin.
