Organisers of the party at the water park in Taiwan have been detained after a cloud of coloured powder exploded in the air during a live event.
According to BBC, more than 500 people were injured in the incident, when a coloured powder apparently ignited after being discharged from the stage onto the audience.
No deaths have been reported with reports suggesting that most of the people suffering burns were in their 20s.
The video taken at the scene showed the flames erupting among the crowd at the event called ‘Color Play Asia’.
‘Color Play Asia’ bills itself as Asia’s biggest colour party, an event where the people dance to music while spraying each other with coloured powder.
The water park, Formosa Fun Coast, is north of Taipei, the island’s capital city. (ANI)
