<p>A video showing the terrifying moment a packed <strong>amusement ride</strong> malfunctioned gripped social platforms over the weekend. The 30-second clip begins with the riders ascending to the top of the tower. Just before reaching the tip, <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/mother-of-teen-who-fell-from-ride-denies-family-ties-to-woman-claiming-to-be-his-cousin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the ride lingers</a> for a few seconds.</p>
<p>Then, in its usual manner, it begins to free fall. But, things took a scary turn when the speed increased, and the ride rammed straight into the platform below it. Reports say the drop was about 50 feet.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/video-little-league-players-shove-cotton-into-black-teammates-hair-during-game-officials-say-there-was-no-ill-intent/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">video shows</a> safety harnesses popping open as screams fill the air. Decorative lights on the tower ride popped off from the impact. A few riders stod up, while others remained strapped in place.</p>
<p>On the ground, a few people lingered behind. Some ran out of the camera frame. Dust from the park grounds lifts into the air from the slam and runners.</p>
<p>TV journalist Nikhil Choudhary shared the clip on Twitter on September 4. The incident happened at a traveling fair named London Bridge in Mohali, India.</p>
<p>By Tuesday, users had seen the video over 9.5 million times. At the time, Nikhil wrote,<em> &#8220;16 women and kids were hospitalized after the incident.&#8221; </em></p>
<p>According to <em>NBC News</em>, Mohali Deputy Superintendant of Police Harsimran Singh Bal <a href="https://www.today.com/news/news/carnival-ride-crashes-india-injuring-16-see-shocking-video-rcna46300" target="_blank" rel="noopener">confirmed the date</a> and number of injured in the tower malfunction.</p>
<p>Medical professionals treated people for injuries to the spine, nose, jaw, and cervical area, per <em>The Times of India. </em>An organizer of the fair also spoke out about the tower malfunction.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;It seems to be a technical snag,&#8221; Sunny Singh said. &#8220;We have been organizing fairs at many places, but such an incident has never happened.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
