During the Vivid Sydney festival, 89 drones fell into Darling Harbour due to a technical malfunction during the 'Star-Bound' show. The operator, SkyMagic, attributed the incident to an unforeseen change in the radio frequency environment, which caused the drones to enact failsafe landing procedures. No injuries were reported, and all drones remained within the designated exclusion zone. Following the incident, four additional performances were cancelled to conduct a full safety review. The Australian Transport Safety Bureau has been notified and is gathering information on the event. The festival, which runs until June 13, had planned for multiple drone shows, making this incident significant for both organizers and attendees.
