During a Ringling Brothers And Barnum & Bailey Circus performance Sunday at at Dunkin' Donuts Center in Providence, Rhode Island, nine acrobats were doing a hair-hang act when all of them fell to the ground.
Karo Christopher Kazungo, a 22-year-old acrobat with the Moscow State Circus, was supposed to drop from the ceiling and land safely in a net. A piece of the net snapped, and Kazungo plunged through, hitting the ground below.
