Two killed as artwork ‘lifts off’
`Two people have been killed and 13 injured after a giant, inflatable sculpture blew free from its moorings.
Many were inside the artwork, which consists of connected rooms, when it lifted 30ft into the air at Riverside Park, Chester-le-Street, County Durham. [..]
The sculpture – called Dreamspace – is thought to have drifted for up to 40m before catching on a CCTV camera post and coming down near a children’s playground.
About 500 people were in the vicinity of the sculpture, which is half the size of a football pitch, when it came loose.’
