Largest scale of indoor fireworks prepared for NDP 2016



SINGAPORE: Come Aug 9, Singaporeans can expect the largest scale of indoor fireworks at the National Stadium as the National Day Parade (NDP) makes its return to Kallang after a decade.

The fireworks finale, which is traditionally a crowd favourite, will be largely held indoors. This is the first time the parade will have indoor fireworks.

The fireworks will be five times the scale of those set off during the opening and closing of the 2015 Southeast Asian Games. The pyrotechnics will also go on throughout the two-and-a-half hour show.


A team of 50 people prepare the fireworks over a period of four days before each performance.

There are concerns that the fireworks will lead to a build-up of smoke indoors, but the NDP fireworks committee said fans will be set up around the stage to help with ventilation.

Expect people to start choking and gasping and run for the exits.

A large metal hood above the stage with a massive fan sucking the fumes out would be a much better idea.

Yeah, what could possibly go wrong with indoor fireworks?
