The Ferris wheel stopped while working in the park of Smolensk

11 august 2021

In the evening of August 9, due to a voltage drop, the Ferris wheel stopped at the Lopatinsky Garden Central Park in Smolensk. At that moment there were people on the wheel.

Rescuers who arrived at the scene removed about 20 people from the attraction. Rescuers noted that there was no panic among the residents of Smolensk; after the descent, the visitors thanked the employees of the department.

On the evening of August 10, the attraction started working again as usual.
