BBC NEWS | World | South Asia | Kite deaths mar Pakistan festival
How bizarre is this: nine people killed in a kite-flying festival. What a waste! It strikes me as sad the trivial things that people die doing sometimes. It's just so unnecessary.
Competitors have to either knock other people's kites out of the air or capture them. People use all kinds of tactics such as having glass fragments attached to the string of their kite or using metal wire or corrosive chemicals.
Some people died through electrocution when a wire kite flew into a power line. A young girl also died when her throat was cut by a wire attached to a kite.
