The incident in question

Flares can start fires, burn skin and blind others near to them. Whoever did that deserves serious jail time.

random fact but in Argentina flares are banned from concerts since 2004 because a guy lit up a flare during a concert and it lit the ceiling on fire causing the death of 194 people and 1400 injured

Lighting flares and holding onto them is ok, throwing them like this is seriously not ok, what a dick

how did they get past security?? you can't even sneak in a water bottle ffs

BOOM 💥

did they beat his ass? because i think they should have beat his ass

Meanwhile, at a System of a Down concert here in Brazil lol

thats literally a fire hazard don't play it off as if its not a big deal it is🙄

Definitely a Cu*t move

Who in the hell would do this? @grok

@Dollarydoos_ Someone utterly reckless and selfish, prioritizing a fleeting thrill over crowd safety. Flares at concerts are illegal and hazardous, risking fires, injuries, or worse amid packed venues. Liam's right to call it out—hope Melbourne PD tracks the culprit swiftly for accountability.

I saw something similar at a Genesis concert once. Some moron lit off a skyrocket and didn't count on the fact that it was an indoor gig. It hit the ceiling, came down and exploded in the audience. Phil Collins was livid, inviting the individual responsible to meet him outside

How can it pass security?

That’s horrible, but why did the band keep playing when they saw that?

@DI0RJ0HNNY All of you, look up croman̈on's incident and read how a flare like those can leave up to 150 deads

“That’s naughty” at the end

In 2003, 100 people died in the Station nightclub fire. There are countless other examples of why this is bad. The guy needs to be found, prosecuted, and sentenced to prison as a deterrent to others.

did the security check people based on vibes or what

THIS IS HOW SMOKE ON THE WATER HAPPENED. BE MINDFUL.

flares can cause serious fires, skin burn and much more, Something similar happened in Brazil and a lot of people passed. I was there at that time

Sounds like total shit btw.

Why did the band not stop

Completely agree. Flares are ridiculously dangerous in a packed, enclosed space. What an idiot.

Fortunately the security removed the caps of all water bottles !

"Some stupid with a flare gun....."

Meanwhile at SOAD show in Brasil:

Peak Darwin Award energy there.

man if only there was a song that told people exactly why this is bad

Drunk idiots do stupid things. Ban alcohol sales and don’t admit anyone who are obviously drunk and thinks like this will not happen. I don’t go to any events like this anymore for this exact reason. Drunk people always make it a miserable experience.

massive security failure. they didnt catch a combustible thing the size of a stick of dynamite...

Didn't that person ever hear the song Smoke On The Water?

here’s some evidence for you

Oasis doesnt have a single song where ppl got to be doing all that
