Giant beach ball bounces around London during storm

A giant beach ball bounced around the streets of London as a killer storm swept Britain.

The 10m wide ball came loose from a building near Old Street station, where it had been tethered to symbolise the CO2 emissions a new 200 million pounds development would cut back on, the Metro reports.

According to the report, pictures uploaded via social media showed the ball bouncing around in stormy conditions before the morning rush hour.

But soon a crack team of council workers was sent in to deflate the ball.
