Sky-high horror caught on video as Ferris wheel catches fire during music festival
SUMMARY
A dramatic fire engulfed a Ferris wheel at the Highfield Festival near Leipzig, Germany, on Saturday evening, leading to over two dozen injuries. The blaze, which erupted mid-festival, saw flames and smoke billowing from two of the Ferris wheel’s cars. Most injuries were due to smoke inhalation, with four individuals suffering burns and one hurt in a fall. German rapper Ski Aggu, who was performing during the incident, shared his shock on Instagram, relieved that the situation did not escalate further. “For me, the priority was that the situation did not escalate further,” he wrote. Despite the chaos, festival performances continued about an hour after the fire started, although the Ferris wheel remained closed.
