In short:

Vivid Sydney festival's drone show has been cancelled for now after a technical malfunction on Monday night.

The drone show's operator says a change in radio frequency caused 89 drones to fall into the harbour around Cockle Bay.

What's next?

A Vivid Sydney spokesperson says Tuesday and Wednesday's drone shows will not go ahead, with no decision yet made for Sunday's show.

Well, there are a lot of these shows going on around the world all the time, and very seldom does anything like this happen. I just don’t want people thinking that drones aren’t safe.
