A contestant in a 'Birdman' competition has died after he was dragged underwater by the weight of his hang glider in front of hundreds of horrified spectators.
Li Weng, 44, had hurled himself from a platform above a lake in Hangzhou in China's Zhejiang province, as part of a display to mark local Dragon Boat festival celebrations.
At first spectators cheered when he sunk beneath the surface, thinking it was a joke.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
