Caught On Camera: Disco Dancer Ride Near Chennai Crashes. Owner Arrested

Chennai: The 20 workers at an amusement park near Chennai called Kishkinta were on a break, trying out a ride called the Disco Dancer last evening.  

And then the coaches of the giant wheel - like a mega tea cup that tilts from one side to the other - came crashing down from a height of nearly 15 feet.

One person died, and seven others have been injured. The police this evening arrested Josh Punnish, the owner of the amusement park and a manager on charges that include criminal negligence that resulted in death.
 The Disco Dancer was among the top draws at the park till last year's floods left it damaged. Last evening's ride was meant to be a trial run before the ride opened to the public.
