ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - Authorities say dozens of people were
injured at a Wrestlemania event in Orlando when fireworks and
cables landed on the crowd.
Fans packed the Florida Citrus Bowl Stadium Sunday night for the
event. Orlando Fire Department spokesman Greg Hoggatt says a cable
holding the fireworks collapsed at the end of the show, sending
sparkles from the fireworks into the crowd. He says there were burn
injuries "up and down the stadium."
At least 40 people were injured. Officials say all the injuries
were minor, but at least three people were taken to a hospital.
Their conditions are not yet known.
The phone number for the press relations office at the WWE
Corporate Headquarters is busy. A message was left with stadium
officials.
