Story out of Queensland, Australia:
Two women and two men were killed at a theme park on Australia's popular Gold Coast on Tuesday (Oct 25), police said, with witnesses describing how "everyone was screaming" after a raft apparently flipped on a water ride.
Queensland police said the four victims died on the Thunder River Rapids ride at the Dreamworld park, as Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull offered prayers to their families over what he called a "very, very, sad, tragic event".
The Gold Coast Bulletin newspaper reported that water was drained from the attraction in an effort to save trapped victims, but to no avail.
Dreamworld, which opened in 1981 and has over 40 rides and attractions, said in a statement that it was "working as quickly as possible to establish the facts around the incident and is working closely with emergency authorities and police to do this." Cont.
