Within the same month as the previous slide and the Dreamworld accidents, three more children were injured in an amusement park accident involving a Ferris wheel. Three young girls, ages 6, 10, and 16 were riding the Ferris wheel at the Greene County Fair in Greeneville, Tennessee when their basket flipped due to a mechanical error. Two were airlifted out while the third was rushed to the hospital via ambulance. Two of the girls seemed to be doing okay, while the third sadly suffered a head injury and was placed in intensive care with a breathing tube. Although an investigation was performed, no answers were given as to what specifically caused the accident.
