Drones created chaos at the Vivid Sydney festival as a larger-than-expected crowd swarmed the Harbour foreshore. Attendees found themselves trapped in a frenzy after a mesmerizing drone show. Shocking videos captured the moment festival-goers felt like they were in a disaster waiting to happen, with concerns of a potential crush looming large.

The episode served as a reminder of the challenges of managing massive crowds at popular events like Vivid Sydney.

Interestingly, the drone show at Vivid Sydney was planned to be a mesmerizing display of technology and art, but unforeseen crowd numbers turned the night into a challenge of crowd control.
