The Lantau cable car operation was halted for 15 minutes yesterday after technicians found car spacing was closer than normal. A spokesman said passengers were stranded in the cars, and messages were broadcast inside and outside the cabins. Service resumed at 10.25am. Meanwhile, Ngong Ping 360 Ltd chief Morris Cheung Siu-wa admitted on RTHK that the message was unclear on March 19, when 200 people were stranded for 50 minutes.
