Here it comes. Whoa suspended. So you saw right there, it is being called a human chandelier. You saw that that shield around it or that curtain kind of dropped and then a couple of moves and then suddenly the performers careening down and hit there. No net. No pads as far as we can tell. Nick valencia is following this for us. We have since received clearance to show the video, very distu disturbing but surely people were very seriously injured. Do we know the extent of the injuries . Without a doubt. It makes you wince, even the compression of a human falling from that height, 20 to 30 feet landing on top of another person, at least 11 people hospitalized, fred. Nine of them we can confirm performers there at the circus downtown providence, rhode island. The circus got in town on friday and expected to do the shows until monday. This part of the show involved a hair hang apparatus where performers or acrobats were hanging, again, about 30 feet off the ground suspended only by their hair with no safety net to catch them underneath. Earlier, we talked to a spokesman for the Parent Company of the circus and told us what happened. This apparatus was used for multiple performances for this show since launching in january and all of the equipment thats used by this performer, this group of performers as well as all the other performers is carefully inspected. We take the health and safety of our performers and our guests very seriously. At least 11 people hospitalized. We do know that one of them is in critical condition. Earlier, we were told that nine performers were taken to the hospital, one of them on the ground. Eight of them in this hair hang apparat apparatus. Be forewarned, if youre sensitive to dramatic video or children in the room, nows the time to take them out. Here it comes. Whoa. Suspended only from the strength amazing. This act had just gotten under way, this part of the performance. Happened earlier as i mentioned in providence, rhode island. The shows for the rest of sunday, there was another two shows and have been canceled according to the circus. Looks like structurally may have been some sort of failure there and we dont know what part of it. You could only see as that curtain drops, then they did what, two moves . Like a straddle move and then a pike move and then, boom, thats when it went down. Just to get better clarification, you say they are their hair is attached to the apparatus . Thats right. Married to the apparatus hanging from the hair and done 12 to 14 times per week over the course of the last several months since january without incident. Its still very unclear what happened to this part of the apparat apparatus, whether the cable snapped. We dont know. Thats part of the investigation. 11 people in the hospital. One of them at least one in critical condition. Those performers becoming one with that apparatus. We dont know if its the cable, if its thats right. You know, any portion of what is holding them in one uniform way. We dont know. We dont know. Scary situation. Houseful of people. Yeah. Im sure initially they may have thought it was part of the act but very clear now that something went terribly wrong. Nick, thanks so much. Appreciate that. All right. Overseas were also watching a volatile situation, the site of ukraines deadliest clashes in months now seen more violence today. Just two days ago, more than 40 people were killed after a riot ended in a fire in odessa. Dozens of activists were detained after that. Well, today, hundreds of prorussian activists stormed a Police Station demanding they be released. Police did end up letting dozens of people go, greeted with cheers and hugs right there is the moment. Phil black is live for us now in odessa. Phil, explain to us all the things that happened in detail. Reporter sure, fredericka. The day started with a large sorrowful crowd gathering at the building where that terrible fire took place. The clashes, the fire killed 46 people. Now, the crowd part of it broke away and heading to the Police Station where dozens of prorussian protesters have been detained since those clashes on friday. There was screaming for the people to be released and some of them wanted to do more than that and they really tried to break them out. They attacked the police building, smashes doors, windows, whatever they could. Broke their way into the inner court yard of the Police Station and at some point there with the Police Looking powerless to stop them, a deal was struck where the police agreed to release the detained people if everyone else agreed to go home and thats what happened. Some 67 or so of these detained people really public enemies of the Ukrainian Government allowed to walk free, greeted as heroes and incredibly emotional scenes there at the Police Station and since then, prorussian, proukrainian crowds marching around, chanting. No further clashes at this stage, fredericka. And so, is there a way in which to read this kind of violence that it is likely to spread at least from this city on to another or, i mean, what do people anticipate from this . Reporter throughout the ukrainian crisis, people worried about odessa. A long way to the russian border but theres a big russianspeaking population, historic ties to russia, as well. It is a port city, increedingly important to the ukrainian economy. Theres always been concern and disturbances but nothing like this. The loss of lives in recent days, the legacy a bitterness, resentment. Incredible ill feeling exists in this city. A great deal of anger and healing it will take a great deal of time. Phil black, thanks so much in odessa. All right. Back in this country, Donald Sterlings wife is making one thing clear when it comes to the l. A. Clippers. Shes a coowner of the team. Shelly sterling made that statement reacting to the decision of a new ceo to oversee the teams operations. Well, that comes on the heels of the clippers emotional win last night game seven of the playoffs. They beat the golden state warriors, 126121 and advanced to the semifinals. The Team Managing to stay focused despite the distraction. Meantime, shelly is reacting to the upcoming changes in the front office. Cnn National CorrespondentDeborah Feyerick is covering it for us from new york. Shelly sterling put a new cog in the wheel making the legal road potentially even more complicated. Absolutely. Theres no question about it. What Shelly Sterling did in sending out this statement, she did two things. Asserted her rights as a coowner of this team and she distanced herself from her husband. She basically said, look, we didnt do anything wrong. We didnt make any racist remarks and we shouldnt be forced to sell a team, specifically under circumstances that might not be in our financial interest. Ie, a fire sale. You have to remember, this is going on within a larger context. The nba renegotiating a media deal and it could be worth multiple times what it is worth now. So Shelly Sterling comes out very forcefully and not only that but established a direct connection to the nba commissioner himself. She said that had spoken with him, that she supported his decision to put a new ceo in charge of the team and she said sfaft in a statement she said i welcome the nba commissioners involvement in the search for a person of the utmost character. Huh. Who does that sound like its not . A person of the utmost character, proven excellence and a commitment to promoting equality and inclusiveness. Im committed to make the clippers the best team in the nba, thats been my aspiration since 1981. So right there, she is letting people know that she is part of this for last 30plus years and wont let it go, certainly not without a fight. Shes put all the focus now on Donald Sterling and putting into context what his alleged mistress said to Barbara Walters on friday which he feels alienated, isolated that his family turned on him. Well, you know, what greater sort of turning is there than for somebody to say, hey, this is his mess. Let him clean it up. We didnt do anything. Wow. This is interesting because she has a track record, too, as it pertains to the apartment discrimination cases. If the nba is talking about character being a criteria for ownership then i dont know. She may have a problem with that one, too. We appreciate it. Reporter yeah. Exactly. Yeah. Thanks so much. Keep us posted on all of this. Vice President Joe Biden, he may not have actually been at the white house Correspondents Dinner last night, at least not live and in person but he was there on tape.

The next few hours could determine what the new phase in the search for Malaysia Airlines flight 370 will look like. Officials will attend trilateral talks in australia to discuss what direction in which to move. So meanwhile, three Bangladeshi Navy ships havent found any wreckage. And back in malaysia, police are holding 11 suspected terrorists. They were arrested last week near kuala lumpur but police say theres no indication the group has any connection to that missing flight. Meantime, more bodies have been recovered in the south korean ferry disaster raising the death toll to 248. Government Officials Say 54 people remain missing. Hundreds of divers have been part of the search since the vessel sank in midapril. Its been difficult because they have had to break through cabin doors that are blocked by debris and no one has been found alive since the day of that disaster. For the First Time Since nearly 300 schoolgirls kidnapped in nigeria more than two weeks ago, the countrys president addressed the situation. People around the world have been taking to the streets demanding more action and nigerias government is criticized for not doing enough but earlier in a televised address Goodluck Jonathan the president repeatedly promised that the girls would be rescued and he called for more cooperation in the efforts to find them. Getting them out, what we request is maximum cooperation from the guidance and the parents of these girls because up to this time they have not been able to come clearly to keep the police clear identities. International pressure has been building for the Nigeria Government to do more to find the missing girls. An Islamic Militant group is blamed for the abduction of these girls and so far theres been no official claim of responsibility.
