Air Show In Chennai 2024: The Indian Air Force’s 92nd anniversary air show at Chennai’s Marina Beach ended in disaster as a crowd of over 12 lakh surged toward exits, leaving five dead and many hospitalized. The massive turnout overwhelmed organizers, leading to congestion and confusion. Attendees reported dehydration and stress due to the lack of adequate facilities, and transportation services fell short of handling the mass exodus. Authorities confirmed the deaths, citing heart attacks and collapse in the aftermath of the chaotic dispersal. The tragic airshow in Chennai has sparked a political blame game, with the BJP accusing the ruling DMK government of negligence. BJP leaders are holding Chief Minister Stalin accountable for failing to ensure public safety and not providing essential facilities at the event. In contrast, the DMK has pointed to the overwhelming turnout, claiming that adequate provisions, including toilets, drinking water, and ambulances, were made but stretched by the large crowd. The airshow, held at Marina Beach, resulted in the deaths of five spectators and over 200 hospitalizations due to dehydration, highlighting poor crowd management and a lack of drinking water as critical factors. Additionally, lakhs of attendees were stranded due to poor traffic control, further compounding the chaos. The situation worsened when both Tamil Nadu CM Stalin and Deputy CM Udhayanidhi were present during the crisis, intensifying the political fallout. The tragic incident has quickly turned into a political battleground, with both parties attempting to shift blame. India Today's Pramod Madhav brings a detailed ground report on the mismanagement and its political repercussions, as the fallout from the tragic event continues to unfold in Tamil Nadu.
