== [[Real Life]] ==
* At the Theatre-Lyrique in Paris (an opera house), some portions of the glass chandelier fell on the audience, but no one was killed. (Novello, 'The Musical World'). Then in October 1888, according to 'The Times', one of the chandeliers fell and did kill a man.
* From httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20110725043403/http://musicandhistory.com/pdf/m/february.pdf: On February 2, 1795, Haydn was giving a concert at the King's Theatre, London. At one point, several patrons left their seats to get a better view of Haydn. Not long thereafter, a chandelier crashed to the floor where they had just been sitting. Very cinematic!
* Norwegian author Jens Bjørneboe is supposed to have tried to kill his parents this way when he was 8 years old.
