'Human chandelier' falls: 9 performers in R.I. circus accident

CNN.com: The curtain drops to reveal women hanging by their hair. Leotards are in perfect place -- toes pointed, smiles on.
The music kicks in on cue, and then suddenly -- horrifyingly -- what's known as the "human chandelier" plummets to the ground.
"I screamed. I'm like, that's not right," Chelie Barrie, a spectator, told CNN affiliate WPRI. "You know, sometimes you're surprised and it's part of the show, but this clearly wasn't."
