Downburst

One person died and dozens more were injured early Saturday as powerful winds hit a music festival near the Spanish resort of Valencia, causing the stage to partially collapse, medics said.

The incident occurred shortly after 4:00 am (0200 GMT) at the Medusa Circus of Madness dance music festival on Cullera beach, some 50 kilometers (30 miles) south of Valencia.

Hesitation of the pilots and the air traffic controller, rapid change in wind speed and the age-worn runway at Istanbul's Sabiha Gökçen Airport have been pointed as possible causes of the plane accident which left three dead and 180 injured on Feb. 5.
