Tragedy at the Staples Center

Fans across America are getting excited for this years basketball season. There have been numerous amount of games thus far in different stadiums. however, one game in particular did not end so well. According to AOL news, On Sunday, November 20, 2010 a tragic death occurred at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California after the Lakers won their game against the New Orleans Hornets. Two year old Lucas Anthony Tang was spending time with his family and taking pictures ; he plunged from a third level luxury box at the center, falling 20 to 50 feet to the ground. No one knows exactly what happen for the child to even get so close to the edge. But this is a a perfect example of why parents should be aware of what their children are doing. This is also a good reason for the Staples Center and any Center to double check and make sure their seating areas are safe enough for people of all ages, because this can happen again due to lack of security.
