11 Die At Pakistani Kite Flying Festival
I never knew flying a kite was so dangerous.
LAHORE, Pakistan -- An annual kite festival Sunday in eastern Pakistan has left at least 11 people dead.
Officials said two died after their throats were cut by metal kite strings. Kite flyer's often use string made of wire or coated with ground glass to try to cut the strings of rivals or damage other kites.
The festival is also often marked with celebratory gunshots fired into the air. Five people died after being hit by stray bullets.
Two people were electrocuted when they tried to untangle kites from overhead power cables.
Two others fell from roofs. One was a boy chasing a stray kite. Another was a woman trying to stop her son from going after a kite.
Police arrested more than 700 people during this year's festival for using sharpened kite strings or firing guns. Officials said they also seized more than 280 illegally held weapons.

Wow. Violent sport.
You guys are going to lose. You might as well just cheer for me, because Boston isn’t winning in Boston for the season opener. I’m sorry. " - Gilbert Arenas

This isn't real. It sounds like what happened in the movie GhostShip, minus the kites, and radical muslims.

I would say that the expression "go fly a kite" takes on a more sinister meaning in Pakistan...
Coarse edged youth, the irish pendants string from their smiles
not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
and drag down the features of age,
no folds or creases from unkempt wear
eyes of tranquilty, crystalline-beads
no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012
