According to the plan, the official demonstration of 10,500 drones will take place on the evening of May 1, but the program has changed, adding a test flight on the evening of April 30.
However, during the organization, there was a phenomenon of widespread wave disturbances, posing a potential risk to flight safety. The performance was forced to stop halfway.
After the above incident, the organizers canceled the performance schedule on the evening of May 1 as planned.
According to information from the Department of Culture - Sports of Ho Chi Minh City, stopping drone performances is to ensure safety.
Previously, the Organizing Committee had prepared a proposal to set a Vietnamese record for the largest number of drone flights at a time.
On April 28, Ho Chi Minh City held a rehearsal of the light show with the participation of 10,500 drones. The event attracted a large number of people and tourists to watch, creating a vibrant and exciting atmosphere.
This is the largest drone show ever held in Ho Chi Minh City.
The drone fall incident occurred during a performance in Hanoi in early 2025. During the fire drone test flight, some equipment fell to an empty lot due to technical factors. The incident caused a fire on the dry grass.
