2015 cornstarch fire incident
[edit | edit source]On 27 June 2015, flammable powder, which had been sprayed above the visitors, was set alight during an event hosted by an independent marketing firm leasing space at the park.[3][4][5] The incident killed 15 and injured several hundred.[6] In addition, 497 people were injured, many of them seriously.[7] The park closed to facilitate investigations.[8] On 1 March 2017, the Taipei Administrative High Court decided the park could reopen when the court overturned the government order to suspend its license.[9] On 23 June 2019, the demolition of buildings on the site began.[10] After the incident, some of the park's facilities were removed and as of 2022[update], have not been restored.[11]
