“Participants will be able to sit and watch the 15-minute light show from the comfort of their own blankets and lawn chairs,” the city said in an advertisement. Two shows were planned, but after the incident, the second was canceled.
The FAA has opened an investigation. The company organizing the event said it was working with authorities to shed light on this incident.
