The Australian Traffic Network,which performed that show and was commissioned to conduct Saturday’s drone display,hascancelled further events while it continued investigations into the incident thatled to the watery demise of about 350 drones.
Brisbane 2032 chief executive Cindy Hook said,despite the setback,the show must go on.
“They’re doing an investigation and we support their decision,which is until they have the root cause of what happened,we need to put safety first,” she said.
“So the drone show won’t go ahead. That’s a bit of a disappointment,but there’s going to be dozens of other events that everyone can get involved with next weekend.”
To that end,Hook took possession of some giant Olympic rings and Paralympic agitos at Salisbury-based businesses Bailey Print Group on Tuesday. In Latin,“agito” means “I move”.
Hook said the installations would be used a lot around Queensland in the years to come.
“Being able to display the rings and agitos is a privilege of being a host city,a host region as we are in a host nation.
