Summary
Thursday night’s postgame fireworks at CarMax Park veered sideways, with some shells traveling parallel to the ground and prompting Richmond Flying Squirrels fans to rush toward the concourse.
No injuries were reported, even after fireballs appeared to strike or land near the bleachers during the display following Richmond’s 3-1 loss to the Hartford Yard Goats.
Videos of the mishap spread widely on social media, turning the Double-A Giants affiliate’s postgame show into a viral safety scare.
WRIC reported the Flying Squirrels and Pyro Shows, the company that staged the display, are investigating what caused the malfunction.
