Runaway Elephant Takes Over Publicity Stunt Wednesday May 26 11:29 AM ET dailynews.yahoo.com MADRID (Reuters) - A publicity stunt by an amusement park company went awry Wednesday when a two-ton zoo elephant broke free from its trainer and rampaged through central Madrid during the morning rush hour. The runaway elephant brought cars to a halt, sent pedestrians scattering in panic and knocked down two traffic signals before being felled by tranquilizer darts at the end of its 500-yard dash down a busy Madrid street. Clarissa, a 12-year-old elephant, was brought into the city to promote the stock market debut of Parques Reunidos, which manages Madrid's zoo plus amusement parks around the country. ======================================================================
