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.

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