Horror at Haiti Carnival as 18 dancers are electrocuted to death after power line falls

Up to 20 people are feared dead as a power line crashed onto a Carnival float during a parade in the capital, Port-au-Prince. The incident reportedly occurred early in the morning (17 February) sparking panic amid the thousands who had gathered in the city centre to take part in the annual celebrations. The power line fell as a reveller on the float attempted to move it with a pole, witnesses told AP, adding that about 20 people were subsequently killed. However in a video posted online purportedly showing the incident, the power cable seems to first hit the speaker of a float. The crammed double decker vehicle is seen passing under the high voltage line crossing a crowded street.
