Spanish Dancer Killed by Fireworks on Stage During Concert (VIDEO)
A powerful explosion went off while the girl was dancing.
Spanish dancer Joana Sáinz García was killed by a pyrotechnic explosion on stage during a concert.
On September 2, 30-year-old Joana was closing a four-day festival in Las Berlanas near Madrid with her group Super Hollywood Orchestra, the BBC reports. She was the group's lead dancer and choreographer; the group also included singers and musicians, 15 people in total.
Joana was dancing in front of a crowd of a thousand spectators when a pyrotechnic device installed on the stage suddenly exploded and knocked the young woman off her feet.
According to media reports, a doctor and a nurse in the crowd tried to help the injured woman. However, when the artist was taken to hospital, medics pronounced her dead.
Promoters claim that all of the group's previous performances also featured pyrotechnic effects, but no problems had arisen.
A video has appeared online that purportedly captures the moment of the explosion.
