Nearly 90 drones plunge into Sydney harbour during Vivid festival malfunction

On a Monday evening in Sydney, nearly ninety drones fell silently into Darling Harbour rather than illuminating the sky above Vivid Sydney's annual festival of light. What was designed as a choreographed spectacle of technological grace became instead a reminder that the more intricate the coordination, the more absolute the failure when it comes. Organisers invoked safety protocols and cancelled two further aerial shows, leaving both the cause and the future of the displays unresolved.
