ABC与福斯新闻等媒体报导，为了庆祝7月4日美国独立日，杨百翰大学（Brigham Young University）拉维尔爱德华兹体育场（LaVell Edwards Stadium）每年都会举办名为“火焰体育场”（Stadium of Fire）的庆祝活动。
未料，在今年升旗仪式的军机表演期间，烟火失控冲入人群，现场民众惊恐大叫，多人受伤送医，表演一度暂停。据信至少1人脸部受伤，1名表演者差点被击中，而发射烟火的舞台甚至燃起小火，幸好很快就被扑灭。BREAKING: Multiple people were injured after fireworks malfunctioned, hitting the crowd at Stadium of Fire. https://t.co/XuazlX1IIR

主办单位“美国自由节”（America's Freedom Festival）发布声明，强调对于安全高度重视，所有烟火在表演前夕都经过彻底检查，“我们的心与那些受影响的人同在，也正在追踪他们的状况，确保他们没事。”Intense night last night at Stadium of Fire, especially when the F-35 fighter jets flew over at end of the national anthem (my favorite part of the 4th) and fireworks exploded all over the sold out stadium - bringing the show to a halt for 20 minutes. @StadiumOfFire @KristenFugal pic.twitter.com/k2kZF80hhT
