SEVEN people died last night when two Sentosa cable cars plunged into the sea after the ropeway had been struck by the derrick of an oil drilling vessel.
Last night rescue services were engaged in an operation to save another six people stranded in four other cable cars which stopped when the accident happened.
And early today two passengers were rescued from one of the stranded cars in a daring helicopter operation.
The helicopter lowered a winchman onto the car's roof; at first he was blown off but on the second attempt he got onto the roof of the car and freed the two passengers...........
