Around 1,000 spectators were at the Color Play Asia event at the Formosa Fun Coast water park, according to officials.


One male witness told local news channel CTI: “It started on the left side of the stage. At the beginning I thought it was part of the special effects of the party but then I realized there was something wrong and people started screaming and running.”


Lee Lih-jong Cheap Curry Womens Shoes , deputy chief of New Taipei City’s health bureau, said: “The reason why the burns were so severe was that in addition to burns to the skin, there were also injuries caused by burns to the respiratory organs from the large amount of color powder inhaled.

The water park issued a statement yesterday saying it was “deeply saddened” and would be cooperating with an ongoing investigation. General manager Chen Hui-ying told reporters that all partygoers had been insured but did not say to what amount.


“Throwing colored corn starch around ... we had never heard such an activity could be dangerous,” she said.


Lee said details of the ages of the victims were not yet available Cheap Under Armour Curry Shoes , “but all looked very young, in their 20s or even younger.”


A spokesman for the New Taipei City fire department said: “Our initial understanding is this explosion and fire was caused by the powder spray. It could have been due to the heat of the lights on the stage.”
