From Times Wire Reports
A 100-foot tall Christmas tree crashed to the ground during a windstorm at a market filled with holiday shoppers in Prague’s Old Town Square, injuring four people.
Rescue officials in the Czech capital said a gust of wind snapped the tree, sending it plunging down into the stalls of several vendors at the market.
Marek Uhlir, a spokesman for the Prague rescue department, said two people suffered broken bones when the tree landed on them, and two others, including a child, had cuts and bruises.
