$30,000 raised for girl injured at Kentucky Kingdom

A fundraiser hosted by O'Shea's Irish Pub has raised around $30,000 for 13-year-old Kaitlyn Lasitter, whose feet were cut off by the Superman: Tower of Power ride at Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom. Kaitlyn has had one

foot reattached, and the pub hopes the money will help lessen the financial burden of her rehabilitation bills. “I was expecting a lot of people but I wasn’t expecting this many people,” O’Shea’s Irish Pub employee Paige Guthrie said. “It’s basically the exact same thing as St. Patty’s Day.” Recent reports claim that SFKK may be planning to close the ride for good.
