12 children die during bad luck ceremony
Posted Mon Jun 7, 2010 3:42pm AEST

Twelve Indonesian children have died after a suspension bridge collapsed as they were taking part in a traditional ceremony to dispel bad luck, a local official said.

The accident took place in a remote village in Aceh.

"There were about 37 kids gathered together on a wire-cable suspension bridge when it collapsed and they fell into a river," district chief Ibnu Hasyim said.

Twenty-five children were rescued with minor injuries but 12 others - all below the age of 12 - were swept away in strong currents.

The children were watching a ritual ceremony to dispel misfortune after a measles outbreak in the area.

The adults were throwing offerings in the form of chickens into the river when the bridge collapsed, the official said.

that is the deffinition of irony. they had a bridge fall on them (horrible luck) well doing a ceremony to get rid of bad luck. i honestly don't know if that is funny or not. they were just kids, but it is just sooo ironic that there luck was so bad that they had a bridge fall on them.
