A fire on a music stage spread into a crowd of spectators at a party Saturday night at a Taiwan water park, injuring more than 200 people, authorities said.

...

Wang said 83 people had serious injuries and 131 others have light injuries.

In the video, which has been independently verified, spectators can be seen dancing when a cloud of powder appears at the left hand side of the screen.

Without warning, the powder cloud becomes engulfed in flames and quickly spreads through the audience who run screaming for safety.

If ISIS could lay claim to making this happen, they would already be doing so. Fireworks are very popular over there, so it’s likely someone planned poorly, and underestimated the likely flare radius. I’m sure that was frightening, and I hope they recover.

Sounds like a gas bottle of some size sprang a leak and it got ignited quickly.

My bad. I’d be hard pressed to accurately match metal bands, with or without, with music and/or personalities.

I just read the news report (in chinese), according to the event organizer, it appears that strong wind (common in taiwan at that location) caused the powder to disperse and ignite. the event organizer is now in big trouble of course. That amusement park is located by the river meeting the sea so, the sea wind might be the culprit. At this point, I blame it on commie mainland Chinese powder spiked with explosive.
