More fear than harm.

In China, a scene worthy of the worst technological dystopias (or

Black Mirror

) occurred this Friday in Zhengzhou, south of Beijing.

A show imagined using 200 light drones was organized to promote a new shopping center.

But in the middle of a show, dozens of flying machines went out or began to malfunction.

A rain of drones then fell on the crowd, reports 

Vice World News

.

No explanation for the moment

No less than 5,000 people, including many children, were gathered for the show.

“More and more drones have fallen,” reports a young Chinese woman present at the time of the incident.

Some flew very far, but others hit the trees.

In panic, spectators quickly took refuge in the surrounding stores, says BFMTV.

Fortunately, no injuries were injured in the incident, but several vehicles parked at the scene were damaged.

No technical explanation has yet been given by the show's organizer.
