A 5-year-old boy died and a second child was injured when strong winds sent a bounce house airborne during a baseball game Friday night in Waldorf, Maryland, officials said.
The incident occurred at about 9:20 p.m. local time at Regency Furniture Stadium during a Southern Maryland Blue Crabs game, Charles County officials said in a news release.
Several children were playing inside the bounce house adjacent to the playing field when a wind gust sent it about 15 to 20 feet into the air, the county said. The children fell out of the bounce house before it landed on the playing field.
An American Airlines jet with 60 passengers and four crew members aboard collided with an Army helicopter Wednesday night while coming in for a landing at Ronald Reagan National Airport near Washington. The Black Hawk helicopter was carrying a crew of three. Officials said early Thursday that everyone on board both aircraft is believed dead, which would make it the deadliest U.S. air crash in nearly a quarter century.
