Pasadena ,CA : Eight children rushed to hospital after tree crashes down on summer camp Tuesday ,July 28th 2015

Eight youngsters have been injured, two critically, after a 75ft tree came crashing down on them at a summer day camp in Southern California.

It was not clear what caused the pine tree in Pasadena's Brookside Park to uproot without warning at about 5pm local time on Tuesday.
Witnesses said the tree made a cracking sound and came crashing down on the children, aged six to eight, just as the summer day camp at the Kidspace Children's Museum was ending for the day.
The park is just outside the museum grounds near the Rose Bowl.
Museum staff, firefighters, parents and police quickly converged on the scene.
Children were loaded on to stretchers and rescuers began cutting the tree limbs apart to see if there were other victims.
