WFTV in Orlando has an article up at this link noting that dozens of WWE fans were injured at WrestleMania 24 last night when fireworks and cables fell on the crowd.

According to the report, more than 40 fans were injured. One fan, Barbara Vetere, had the following to say about the incident: "It felt like a whip. I have a welt on my neck. Like a baseball bat hit me. It was horrible. Horrible."

The pyrotechnics malfunction reportedly took place at the end of the night following the Edge vs. Undertaker main event.
