News organizations including The Associated Press published the video.<\/p>\n<p>\nHowever Shanghai residents said they had witnessed no such event, prompting the network to issue a statement saying the event was rehearsed and recorded on Dec. 26 and Dec. 27 because of safety concerns about the size of the crowd along the city&#8217;s famous riverfront Bund on New Year&#8217;s Eve. <\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cDue to the high crowd at the Bund on New Year&#8217;s Eve, watching the drone show may cause safety problems, so the rehearsal and recording time of the drone was moved forward,&#8221; the station said in its statement.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe decision was likely informed by memories of a Dec. 31, 2014, stampede on the Bund in which 36 people were killed and 49 injured when a crowd of 300,000 gathered to watch a light show. Several city officials were fired or otherwise reprimanded over the tragedy. <\/p>\n<p>\nLarge crowd sizes in China during holidays are a regular worry, resulting in everything from crushing deaths to massive traffic jams. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/Travel\/wireStory\/china-station-admits-years-drone-show-prerecorded-68050045\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] A Shanghai TV station has acknowledged that footage of a formation of 2,000 drones flying over the city broadcast on New Year&#8217;s Eve had actually been prerecorded days before January 4, 2020, 2:30 AM 2 min read BEIJING &#8212; A Shanghai TV station has acknowledged that footage of a formation of 2,000 drones flying &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[15606,15605,114404,61618,92218,95220,125443,92761,17165,6152,35926,3947,6666],"class_list":["post-192785","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-tie-world","tag-asia","tag-china","tag-drone-aircraft","tag-east-asia","tag-general-news","tag-greater-china","tag-holiday-travel","tag-leisure-travel","tag-lifestyle","tag-media","tag-shanghai","tag-television","tag-travel"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hameed.nwar.uk\/sa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/192785","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hameed.nwar.uk\/sa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hameed.nwar.uk\/sa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hameed.nwar.uk\/sa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hameed.nwar.uk\/sa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=192785"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hameed.nwar.uk\/sa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/192785\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hameed.nwar.uk\/sa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=192785"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hameed.nwar.uk\/sa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=192785"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hameed.nwar.uk\/sa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=192785"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
