A ROMANTIC birthday celebration for Brenda Chan and her husband, Brandon, turned into a nearly hour-long wait in darkness while suspended more than 60m in the air.

The couple were among 18 cable car passengers who were left stranded in their cabins for more than 30 minutes after an operating system error on Wednesday evening brought the Mount Faber cable car line to a halt.
