Seven-minute segments featuring 100 aerial devices lighting up night sky are put on hold and police called inTourism Board apologises to visitors and says urgent repairs are being conducted
Organisers of an annual wine and dine festival in Hong Kong called off drone performances on Saturday night and made a police report after GPS signal interferences to the aerial devices were detected.
The Tourism Board, which held the CCB (Asia) Hong Kong Wine & Dine Festival, cancelled two shows at 6pm and 7.30pm as glitches surfaced soon after the first performance involving 100 drones at Central harbourfront and Tamar Park.
The machines were meant to light up the night sky with an array of LED colours, in an aerial choreography of animated patterns over Victoria Harbour. They would form the number 10 – to mark the 10th anniversary of the festival – and also the shape of a birthday cake.
