This year’s Stadium of Fire 4th of July event at LaVell Edwards Stadium in Provo, Utah, turned into a nightmare for some attendees who were hit by rogue fireworks during the night’s opening ceremonies.
The incident took place at Brigham Young University’s football stadium where the Jonas Brothers were set to perform in front of a sold-out crowd of 45,000.
Multiple videos of the incident captured the moment fireworks went screaming towards the unsuspecting crowd and sent six people to the hospital.
