Fatal storm hits Hungary festival
The streets around the parliament were flooded
At least two people were killed and 100 injured when a sudden storm hit Hungary's capital, Budapest, as tens of thousands watched a firework display.
The two people killed were hit by a falling tree, officials said.
Hundreds panicked when the rainstorm broke and several people had to be rescued after being thrown overboard when two ships collided on the Danube.
People had gathered on the banks of the river to watch a fireworks display to mark Hungary's national day.
Torrential rain and winds of up to 100km/h (62mph) tore down trees, smashed cars and windows and ripped tiles off rooftops.
"Two people died between Margaret Bridge and the Chain Bridge as a tree fell on them," an emergency official said.
Of those also injured by the falling tree, two were taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries and two suffered serious injuries, Budapest Fire Brigade spokesman Peter Molnar said on state television.
Tens of thousands of people were watching the fireworks and a preceding air show from both sides of the Danube, which divides the capital into Buda and Pest.
Water surged through the city streets close to the river, including the area near the parliament which is on the river's banks.
