A live drone show turned chaotic in China's Liuyang, a city in Hunan province at a live drone and fireworks show at the Sky Theatre. The show, titled “October: The Sound of Blooming Flowers,” was designed to create a 3D visual spectacle using fireworks and drones over land and water. However, due to some technical problem the performance turned into panic as drones started fallig on the ground, erupting in fire.
Several videos went viral on social media, showing people running in panic as fiery debris fell from the sky. People were seen shielding themselves with chairs trying to escape the fall.
