A fireworks display in Yokohama’s Minatomirai Smart Festival was aborted on Monday night after flames engulfed two of the eight barges used to launch the pyrotechnics, local police and coast-guard officials said. The show began at 7:30 p.m. and was scheduled to fire 20,000 shells over 25 minutes, but organizers halted the event roughly 20 minutes later when burning debris landed on the vessels. Five crew members reportedly jumped into Tokyo Bay to escape the blaze and were rescued without serious injury. Authorities are investigating the cause of the malfunction and assessing damage to the barges. No spectators were hurt, and officials said the incident posed no wider threat to Yokohama’s waterfront.
