Two people have been killed and several others injured in Durham County in England when a massive inflatable sculpture tore free from its moorings in a gust of wind. Two women were killed in the incident and a three-year-old girl is in a serious condition in hospital. Eleven other people, including children and adults, were also injured.
Television footage showed the 2,500-square-metre artwork, which could cover half a football pitch, ripping free from securing ropes and tipping vertically into the air. Many of those injured were inside the structure, which consists of inflated rooms connected by tunnels. Durham Police are keeping an open mind about the cause of the incident.
