Boy Trips, Falls and Punches Hole in Million Dollar Painting

Kids can be clumsy and costly. One 12 year-old boy tripped at an exhibit in Taipei, falling into a 350 year-old painting, punching a hole in it. Luckily the parents won't have to cover costs to restore the $1.5 million piece of artwork.

The 17th century painting is a Paolo Porpora called Flowers.
