I was in Atrium@Orchard building, level 10 for training. Around 10.15 AM, our computer was suddenly switched off. Soon later, we got news from the admin that there’s a major power surge in the building. The whole building power failed, even Dhoby Ghaut MRT was closed down. Our training was cancelled, and we got back to our desk. Some PCs were fine, some PCs were restarted, some phones were working while some failed, building aircon were not fully working, and host of other power failure-related issues.
After a quick search, apparently, there has been a flash fire explosion in Singapore Power Building here at Somerset. Seems like a major problem that even traffic lights in Orchard Road stopped working. Hopefully the situation will be resolved soon, and injured persons are alright.
