In 1997 the "Duo
Sandor" went to Blackpool Tower Circus in the United Kingdom. Little
did Andrea know, but her life was about to be turned upside down. After
more than 7 years of performing as an Aerial Artist her career came to a
sudden and tragic halt in 1997. During a performance Andrea was making her
usual decent at the end of her act when she fell to her feet from10
meters. With her wrist broken, both ankles shattered and spine fractured,
Andrea was hospitalised and for 11 days left in a critical condition, not
knowing if she would ever walk again. During the next 3 years Andrea, not
wanting to give up her life as a performer, began doing other acts while
she was still over coming such a serious fall. Clowning around in Billy
Smart's Circus and quick changing her costumes in the Taipan Circus in
Singapore.
