The fiasco reportedly occurred Sunday night, September 4, 2022, at the Phase 8 amusement park in Punjab’s Mohali district while 50 riders were on a “drop tower,” a carousel-like contraption that sends passengers hurtling down a vertical structure, the Hindustan Times reported. Things literally went south, however, after an unknown malfunction caused the attraction to plunge 50 feet onto the base like a broken elevator, injuring 16 people.
In the accompanying footage, a lit-up circular carriage is seen plummeting down and crash-landing on the platform with frightening force, sending several riders flying out of their seats — despite them being strapped in. The clip ends with good Samaritans helping load several injured riders into a police van as there were reportedly no ambulances at the fairgrounds, according to Jam Press.

Bro I literally went here the day before this incident, and I was fortunate that I didn't ride on this one, I used to live close by.
