More than 500 people were injured when fire ripped through crowds at a party at an amusement park outside Taiwan's capital Taipei.
Saturday's incident at the Formosa Water Park is believed to have happened when a coloured powder ignited after being discharged onto the crowd.
Footage showed people panicking and screaming. Inflatable water toys were shown being used as stretchers.
Some 190 people are seriously hurt - 182 are in intensive care.
Some of them breathed in the powder, causing respiratory problems.
Local media said organisers of the Color Play Asia event had been taken in for questioning by prosecutors.

This big news to Taiwan do cause a big wave, and there were lots people injured! Though some problems still exist, the most important point now is to cure them. I believe that all of the criminal will finally be in prison.
回覆刪除The party caused many people hurt. And there have fourteen people dead because of the serious accident. Although there is still a controversial issue. I think the most important is that hurt people can all recover.
回覆刪除After the news happened, the whole world are concerned about injuring. The Formosa Water Park didn't hold a safe activity and now cause such a serious problem. It should be punished and never open.
