Ship linked to NK arms shipments to Russia is moored in China: State Dept.
A man who was helping to fly a huge kite in Huai’an, Jiangsu province, was nearly killed when it lifted him 7 meters off the ground.
The incident happened on April 5 when several professional kite fliers took the phoenix kite, which was 40 meters long and 30 meters wide, to a plaza but could not get it off the ground because of its size.
With the help of some local residents and a gust of wind, it finally took off.
But another gust took the kite farther and many of those holding on to the line were forced to let go. That’s when one of those helping out, who failed to let go quickly enough, was raised high in the air and screamed for help.
At that critical moment, a senior flier caught hold of the line and fastened it to a lamppost and the crew grabbed hold and managed to bring it back down to earth with its frightened passenger.

‘연’ 날리려다 ‘사람’ 날아갈 뻔……
중국 장쑤성에서 거대한 연을 띄우던 남자가 연줄에 끌려 약 7미터 높이까지 올라가는 바람에 목숨을 잃을 뻔했다.
사건은 지난 4월 5일 몇몇 연날리기 전문가들이 화이안시 광장에서 길이 40미터, 넓이 30미터의 ‘불사조 연’을 날리던 중에 일어났다. 연이 너무 커서 날아오르지 않자 주변에서 구경하던 시민들이 모여 도움을 주었고 세찬 바람에 실려 연이 결국 날아올랐다.
그 가운데 한 명이 연줄을 제때 놓지 못해 연과 함께 공중으로 날아갔다.
위기 상황에서 연날리기 전문가가 연줄을 잡아 가로등 기둥에 매었고 주변에 있던 사람들이 연을 끌어내렸다.
거대한 연에 실려가던 남자는 많은 사람들의 도움으로 무사히 땅에 내려올 수 있었다.
