The New York Road Runners customarily shoot off fireworks during their midnight run in the popular Manhattan park, but opted for a drone show after a record brush fire period throughout the city last month.

Central Park's New Year's Eve drone show was cancelled following a drone accident in Florida that left a child severely injured. The organizers were unable to arrange an alternative event in time.

Tuesday night’s planned drone spectacle was canceled after a disastrous performance at a Florida show where several drones plunged into a crowd, leaving a 7-year-old boy injured.

With Dec. 31 less than a week away, the Central Park show could not go on, according to New York Road Runners, the group that organizes the still-happening Midnight Run through the park on New Year’s Eve. The drone show, like the fireworks most years, was meant to accompany the run.
