Deep Dive into Singapore's recent History.

On 15 March 1986, the unthinkable in Singapore happened - a building collapsed, killing 33 and trapping 17 (who were rescued over the next few days.

OHStories has put together an Audio-guided tour of the area from the 1960s to the collapse of Hotel New World.

This is not a usual guide tour, but is more personal, more emotional, and gives the audience a glimpse of live in the 1960s to the 1980s. 

Check them out!
