Drama in Tasmanian school, where 5 children who fell from a bouncy castle blown up by the wind died
Don't store avocado like this: it's dangerousLa Tasmania is in shock from a drama that took place yesterday in an elementary school in the city of Devonport, where five children lost their lives. The tragedy took place in a few minutes: the children were playing lightly on a bouncy castle, but suddenly a strong gust of wind pushed the castle up, causing the little ones to fall from a height of 10 meters.
For the five children, aged 5 and 6, there was nothing to do despite the immediate arrival of help, which also arrived with two helicopters. Four died instantly, while the fifth died shortly after in hospital.
