A Ferris wheel caught fire at the Highfield Festival in Leipzig, Germany, injuring over thirty people on Saturday night. The blaze began in one passenger car, spreading to another, with four people suffering burns and one falling from the ride. Most injuries were due to smoke inhalation, with two individuals seriously hurt. The incident caused panic among festival-goers as the wheel continued turning while aflame. German rapper Ski Aggu was performing during the fire but was instructed to continue to avoid mass panic. The festival continued after cordoning off the Ferris wheel.
