Spectacular fireworks covered by tragic accident on Donau in Flames in Vilshofen

The annual "Donau in Flames" event in Vilshofen, district of Passau, was able to preserve a festive atmosphere despite a terrible traffic accident with six injuries during the fireworks on Saturday evening.

The festival attracted visitors along the Danube promenade and at the airfield, where live bands created a good atmosphere and made the dark clouds forget in the sky. Despite changeable weather on Saturday evening with occasional rain showers, visitors could not prevent them from dancing, chatting and celebrating.

Mayor Florian Gams was satisfied with the success of the event, although the weather forecasts were initially unfavorable. The final pyro show could even be enjoyed in the end of the rain.

"Donau on flames" also offered the opportunity for families to face the rain well equipped and to spread a good mood. The catering crew of the local rowing club provided visitors with food and drinks, while the air sports club Vilshofen offered dry places in the hangar.

Despite the tragic accident during the fireworks, "Danube on Flames" was an opportunity for people from different regions to meet and celebrate. The event showed that shared experiences and a positive mood are possible despite adverse circumstances. - nag
