Chinese Acrobat Dies During Performance After Falling From Height

In Suzhou, a city in China’s Anhui province, a female Chinese acrobat tragically died during a performance on Saturday. While ascending meters into the air with the aid of a rope, her male partner, Zhang, was unable to catch her with his legs, causing her to fall to the ground from a fatal height. Footage captured by the audience revealed the incident. Sun was taken to the hospital following the accident, but despite all attempts to save her, she passed away.

Reports suggest that Zhang and Sun were married and had two children. The acrobats did not use safety harnesses during the show in order to make more money.

A state of emergency was declared in New Jersey due to severe flash flooding, while parts of New York City, including the subway system, were submerged by heavy rainfall.

Governor Phil Murphy urged residents to stay home, as submerged vehicles and flooded roads paralyzed districts like Somerville and Plainsville. In New York City, subway lines 1, 2, and 3 were suspended, with water pouring into stations like 23rd Street. Social media footage showed stairwells turning into waterfalls and passengers stranded in subway cars.

Floodwaters also disrupted traffic on Manhattan’s FDR Drive. Nearly 18 million people across the East Coast, including in Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, remain under flood warnings.
