Boy dies as bounce house goes airborne and crashes onto Maryland baseball field

A 5-year-old boy died when a bounce house full of children went airborne and crashed down onto a baseball field in Maryland on Friday, authorities said.

The children fell from the inflatable, which was carried 15 to 20 feet into the air by a wind gust, before it crashed onto the field during a Southern Maryland Blue Crabs game in Waldorf, Charles County officials said in a news release Saturday.
