NextImg:WATCH: Climate protester gets taken out by camera crane during Swedish dance show

A climate activist in Sweden found himself closer to the Earth on Friday when he was taken out by a camera crane after storming the Swedish equivalent of Dancing with the Stars.

Olympic skiing veteran Charlotte Kalla and dancer Tobias Karlsson were in the middle of their routine on Sweden's Let's Dance when climate protesters ran on the dance floor, unleashing yellow powder and displaying a banner, according to a report.

A DEBT LIMIT WIN FOR THE GOP

One activist, who appeared to be male, held the banner reading "Aterstall Vatmarker," which is the name of the climate group and translates to "Restore Wetlands," but his protest was short-lived as a camera crane swung onto the dance floor and put him down on the ground.


Footage of the incident has gone viral on social media, with many saying the move appeared to be intentional.

After he was taken out by the crane, the other protesters were quickly removed from the scene.

Kalla and Karlsson continued to dance throughout the incident and finished their routine.

They came in second place, according to the report.

Aterstall Vatmarker posted to social media following the incident.


"LET'S DANCE IS DISRUPTED BY RESTORE WETLANDS," the group tweeted.

"I'm only 18 years old. Those in power sit completely passive and watch as my future burns up, says Otis, who was one of the people onstage."

Friday's incident on Let's Dance is the latest in a string of climate protests in the last calendar year, including the pouring of diluted charcoal in Rome's Trevi Fountain, the smearing of mashed potatoes on Claude Monet's Les Meules in Potsdam, and the halting of London traffic.
