Five children have died and four others remain in the hospital after wind picked up a jumping castle and threw it into the air at an end-of-year activity day at a primary school in Tasmania in Australia.

Several grade 5 and 6 students fell from a height of about 10 metres, causing serious injuries, when wind blew the jumping castle into the air.

Capture
Police officers comfort each other at the scene of the fatal accident.

ABC News reports Police have not confirmed what was used to anchor down the jumping castle, and have not released the ages of the children involved.
