PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti, Feb 17 AP - At least 18 people on a packed carnival float in the Haitian capital were killed when they were electrocuted by a power line.

Others managed to jump off, causing panic in the crowd."I saw the wire falling and sparks and I started running for my life," said Natacha Saint Fleur, a 22-year-old who was near the float at the time.Dr Joel Desire at the General Hospital, where many of the victims were taken, said at least 18 people died.
