8 injured, 2 critically, when tree falls near Pasadena children's museum
First came a loud crack. Then, a 75-foot pine tree came tumbling down Tuesday evening, crashing on a group of children and summer camp counselors in front of a popular Pasadena children's museum in the Arroyo Seco, witnesses said.
“The kids were screaming, and they were running,” said Greg Prodigalidad, a contractor in Pasadena who was sitting on a bench nearby when he heard the towering tree snap and uproot.
“Once I saw the tree fall, I started running. Me and a bunch of people — we were just moving all the branches away and getting all the kids out.”
