Hong Kong officials say they will open an investigation into a concert accident in which a giant video screen fell down onto the stage and injured two dancers.
Authorities also revealed their initial findings after inspecting the show venue — the Hong Kong Coliseum — on Friday. The concert on Thursday was the fourth of 12 scheduled concerts by Mirror, with tens of thousands of fans having bought tickets.
“We will do research to find out whether due to an operational or material problem. It cannot currently be concluded at this stage,” said Yeung, adding that the incident will affect “all future performances.” Officers from the Labour Department have collected evidence from the venue and will work to determine who is responsible for the incident, Secretary for Labour and Welfare Chris Sun said.
