Carnival tent collapses in New Hampshire


Circus workers first told spectators to stay put as a severe storm bore down on the tent where they had gathered and then told them to seek shelter in their cars just before the tent collapsed, killing a father and daughter, the state fire marshal said Wednesday.

Fire Marshal Bill Degnan said workers saw a piece of loose canopy near the tent's main entrance and told the roughly 100 people inside to remain seated while they secured it. As the winds rose, they told spectators to leave immediately and go to their cars. (AP)
