I think I'd rather watch the drone show where they crashed than a normal one
It's like that fireworks show that malfunctioned and every single firework went off instantly.
This would be a memorable experience to anyone for their entire life

When I was a kid in regional NSW my dad took me to the local town show. The fireworks at the end of the night all went off at once in the middle of the oval. I was on the sidelines.
I remember it was magic, like flickering daylight for a few seconds then a big mushroom cloud drifting away.

From memory, in NSW at least, consumer fireworks were banned and regulations for fireworks shows were tightened because malfunctions were causing significant juries and deaths.
Up until those changes every household had a regular backyard fireworks show over Easter, at least in my neighbourhood.

Oh. I mean the fireworks show where they all shot off successfully. But, they did it simultaneously

Got it. So not like a Bezos rocket kaboom then.

Drones probably sabotaged by big bang.
