Now to a frightening scene in front of a crowd
at Universal Studios Hollywood.
A performer from the Waterworld show was rushed to the
hospital.
Arcana Whitworth joined us with more.
Good morning Kayna.
Yeah, Michael, good morning. So this scary incident happened Monday
afternoon in front of a live audience of people who
were there to witness it.
These initial calls came in as a possible drowning.
And while Universal Studios says they are reviewing what happened,
one person who was there caught the whole thing on
camera.
Something happened.
Oh, Engine Squad 51 person conscious Water world Gate 7
this morning,
a stunt show at Universal Studios Hollywood gone wrong.
Unfortunately, due to technical difficulties,
we will not be able to continue this performance and
ask that you exit the theater at this time.
In this video, you could see workers desperately rushing to
pull this performer out of the water at one of
the park's oldest and most popular attractions.
He was there and also he's like,
not there anymore. Like the music stopped and everything and
we're just like,
oh, what's going on? Officials say CPR was started immediately
and the actor,
who isn't being named, was rushed to the hospital.
The stunt spectacular based on the 1997 movie Water World,
featuring high dives and explosions.
But on Monday, witnesses say a performer fell from one
of the towers as part of the demonstration.
But when he didn't resurface in time for the next
stunt,
his cast mates dove into the water to rescue him.
A spokesperson for the theme park saying the actor is
recovering in the hospital,
adding our thoughts are with him as he receives care.
Details surrounding the event are being reviewed.
So right now that performer is still in the hospital
and you guys,
they don't know if his condition,
but of course everybody hoping for a speedy recovery and
we're joining them.
Cana, thank you.
