In short:

Vivid Sydney festival's drone show has been cancelled for now after a technical malfunction on Monday night.

The drone show's operator says a change in radio frequency caused 89 drones to fall into the harbour around Cockle Bay.

What's next?

A Vivid Sydney spokesperson says Tuesday and Wednesday's drone shows will not go ahead, with no decision yet made for Sunday's show.

I mean the article made it sound like drones nearly hit people, idk about the safer part.

Oh it's still an issue formaure. But falling on someone is usually considered safer than flying into them with props powered on.
