A terrifying video has emerged from Shandong, China of the moment the scenery collapsed on top of several children during a school show.

In the clip, which was filmed on May 27, pupils from Xin Miao kindergarten are performing a dance routine when a gust of wind brings the backdrop and other scenery crashing down on top of them.

Five children were taken to hospital as a precaution but all were quickly released and were said to be recovering well at home with nothing more serious than scratches, according to local media.
