The Hindu
Tragic incidents marred the IAF Air Show on Marina, with five deaths and over 100 hospitalized due to heatstroke.
The IAF Air Show on the Marina was a spectacular success witnessed by around 15 lakh people, but five persons died and two were hospitalised at the end of the show, while about 100 were treated as outpatients at the government hospitals.
Several hundreds of people started thronging Marina from as early as 8 a.m. The buses, the trains and the Metro were all crowded for hours as people tried to get to the beach to witness the show. Soon, it was a gridlock around the world-famous beach and people had to walk for long distances to get to the Marina.
As per the advice, several people had come with umbrellas and water in hand to protect themselves from the scorching sun. There were thousands who had come unprepared as well. While the various aircraft and their aerobatic moves mesmerized the crowd, five persons, who had come to witness the air show, fainted and died on Sunday afternoon after the show got over, a senior police officer said.
