The Stage Effect That Turned Into A Fireball 😨
30 Comments

In 2015 at Formosa Fun Coast in New Taipei City, colored corn-starch powder was sprayed into the air during a party. The fine particles formed a dense cloud and ignited, causing a dust fire/explosion. Nearly 500 people were injured and 15 later died. Corn starch may seem harmless, but when dispersed in air, fine particles can become highly flammable. The same principle behind grain and flour dust explosions.

Over 500 people were grilled like chickens and 15 of them later got cooked.

It's insane how something as harmless as colored cornstarch turns into a fireball when aerosolized into fine dust and combined with super-hot stage lights.

This is the exact June 27, 2015 Formosa Fun Coast “Color Play Asia” event in New Taipei, 15 people died (mostly from 3rd-degree burns), 498 were injured, and the park got slapped with massive fines. The clip you’re watching became the global warning video that got powder effects banned or heavily regulated at festivals worldwide.

Hey look, it's a fire festival. And what do you know, it's a disaster!

This reminds of this tragic incident in the Philippines. ⚠️ WARNING GRAPHIC CONTENT

FIREBAAAAAAALL

This is some Final Destination type bullshit

In Brazil, we have something similar: Boate Kiss. During a show, the band used fireworks ignoring the acoustic isolation at ceiling, made of synthetic sponge, which was a flammable material. The house was full and a lot of people couldn't find the exit. 242 died and 600+ injured

I made this vid tuffer

That’s wild! Hope everyone’s okay after that

yeah I remember this was in Taiwan. Knew a girl who had friends injured in this

It’s terrifying how something that’s basically in your kitchen can turn into that when it’s airborne.

perfect concert if it was fireball by pitbull

Someone being cheap and cutting corners killed these people ! Corn stark is cheap as hell but flammable..,,

@grok is this real?

Taking 15 seconds to read the label would’ve saved 15 lives. Imagine that.

Im very happy he captured the brown skin of the concert. Makes it way more believable.

Omg prevention is better than cure

@grok is this a true story

Damn

@grok is this true

that seems like the most clumsiest show ever
