According to the administration, the fire was extinguished within a few minutes.

People tried to protect themselves from the fiery onslaught, using chairs as makeshift umbrellas.

Videos on social media showed that the incident caused small fires in the city of Liuyang, located in Hunan province.

However, local news reported that these fires were quickly extinguished.

Officials confirmed that no one was injured.

Authorities declared an evacuation zone a mile around the scene while the fire rained down on the crowd and brought in additional firefighters to prevent similar situations in the future.

The Liuyang Bureau of Culture and Tourism warned that dry weather could lead to more serious consequences.

Social media users reacted vehemently to the events, with one writing: “What a technological disaster!”

The show titled “October: The Sound of Blooming Flowers” aimed to create a 3D visual effect using drones.

In January, China Daily reported that more than 160,000 people gathered for the New Year celebrations.

But why this particular performance turned into a mass disaster remains unclear, adding to the growing list of dangerous situations in Ukraine.

In September, outdoor brand Arc'teryx sparked outrage by launching hundreds of small fireworks in the mountain village of Rey Long, part of a collaboration with Chinese artist Cai Guo-Qiang.

This show also drew negative reactions from the public, and although there have already been apologies from the artist and the business, the issue of safety remains pertinent.
