A 3-year-old went spiraling through the air on a kite in a terrifying new video going viral. Thankfully it ended with no injury.
Only Identified by her last name Lin, the little girl was catapulted into the sky by a large kite as it was launched at a Taiwan Kite Festival. The massive yearly kite festival is a yearly event, that she attend with her parents.
The crowd is terrified as they watch helplessly when the girl was slung around like a rag doll in the air, hundreds of feet off the ground. The kite was only being controlled by a large string. Thankfully the pilot was able to get the kite to come down enough for bystanders to grab the little girl and rescue her from certain death or horrible injury.
The Mayor suspended the festival and sent out an apology saying, "“The city government expresses its deepest apologies to the public and to the individuals involved, and we will review the reasons to avoid this type of accident from ever happening again, conducting a thorough review and holding people to account,” according to the NY Post.
The girl was taken for evaluation to the nearby hospital but only had minor injuries. Such good news. That was terrifying to watch.
I'd guess if you asked someone to describe their 2020 so far.... this would be pretty close.
