Andrew Cuomo

MADRID (AP) — Spanish authorities say an eight-year-old girl has died from her injuries after strong winds blew a bouncy castle several meters into the air during a fair in eastern Spain. Spanish news agency EFE reported Wednesday that another eight children were injured, including some that needed hospital treatment. The town hall of Mislata said it was holding a minute of silence to honor the victim of the accident that occurred late on Tuesday. Mislata is a municipality that borders with the city of Valencia on Spain’s eastern coast. Last month five children died on Australia’s island state of Tasmania after falling from a bouncy castle that was lifted into the air by a gust of wind.
