Millennium Wheel London Eye Nov 1999
Workmen check the first capsule to be put on the London Eye one of the worlds largest big wheels, which is under the final stages of construction as it stands beside the River Thames in London. Eventually there will be 32 French manufactured pods, which each weighs nine tonnes, can hold 25 people, and is fully air conditioned to ensure passengers can enjoy one of the best the view of London from the London Eye whatever the weather. Despite hitches when the first attempt to lift the wheel was delayed when a cable snapped and when protesters scaled the structure and spent the night on it, engineers still expect the wheel to be ready for the public by the New Year deadline

Crafted in France, each of its 32 pods weighs an astounding nine tonnes and boasts state-of-the-art air conditioning, ensuring that all 25 passengers can relish breathtaking views of London regardless of weather conditions. As construction nears its end, these diligent workers leave no stone unturned in their quest for perfection. Despite facing challenges along the way - such as a delayed attempt due to a snapped cable and daring protesters who scaled its structure - these resilient engineers remain undeterred. With unwavering determination, they strive to meet their New Year deadline and present this marvel to eager visitors.
