Portrayal of Jesus' Ascension Goes Spectacularly Wrong

On Easter Sunday, an association of Christian churches in Korea banded together to stage an elaborate celebration called the 2026 Easter Parade in downtown Seoul. There was a procession, but also a dramatic recreation of scenes from the Old Testament, the life of Jesus, and the history of Christianity in Korea, spread across multiple stages. It is estimated that around 8,000 people were in attendance. 

One stage was dedicated to Jesus' ascension into heaven. The actor playing Jesus was supposed to be lifted into the sky to end the show. But the drama went on and on as the crane kept lifting him way beyond what was planned. He flew among the skyscrapers so long that the video is sped up in parts. It had to be terrifying, but since we now know that the actor is okay, it's also funny. The producers blamed the incident on a crane malfunction. -via Boing Boing
