15 People Hurt when an Elephant causes a Scaffolding to Collapse.

In Indianapolis, Indiana 12 young children got hurt at a circus where an elephant that they were waiting to ride got startled and caused scaffolding to fall down. The scaffolding stairway leading people to ride the elephants collapsed where the circus was being held at about 10 a.m. A worker fell off the stair well - about a 7 ft drop - when the stairway got caught on the tarp and began to jostle. Nobody was very badly hurt, however, 15 children between 8 and 12 years of age were taken to a first aid station on the circus grounds. Nobody is certain what may have caused the elephant to become startled.
