In Providence on Sunday there were at least nine high-wire circus performers that were injured. The metal frame that the performers were hanging on broke loose from the metal truss. Eight women fell from twenty five to forty feet and landed on a performer that was on the ground. The show was cancelled, and the show scheduled for three pm was also cancelled. "The safety of our performers is the No. 1 priority," said Payne, a spokesperson for the circus act. He also said "something went very wrong with the apparatus." Obviously. Most of the 3,900 people present for the mishap at the show were children. Open the link to see the video.
