Man, Boy Die After Wind Blows Over Elevated Lift

A man's demonstration of an elevated lift took a fatal turn after he invited neighborhood kids to try out the machine known as a cherry picker. Authorities said, a strong gust of wind Sunday afternoon toppled the lift carrying the group of people killing the man giving the demonstration and a boy while injuring three other children.
Albuquerque police spokesman Simon Drobik said After falling, the cherry picker fell on a power line and crashed about 50 feet to the ground, . All five were thrown from the lift.
The man in his 50s and a 12-year-old boy died. Two boys, ages 7 and 10, were in critical condition, while another 10-year boy was in stable condition.
Drobik said Monday that there were probably too many people inside the lift's bucket, and the the legs used to stabilize the cherry picker hadn't been extended.
