Dad of Injured Acrobat: “Miracle” All Survived Fall

Eight high-flying acrobats suspended by their hair were injured after a platform collapsed at the Barnum & Bailey Circus at Dunkin' Donuts Center in Providence, Rhode Island, Sunday afternoon. A ninth man on the ground suffered minor cuts. Roiter Neves, father of injured acrobat Widny Neves, said it's a miracle they all survived the plunge. Monday night's performance in Providence has been canceled.
