More than 200 people were set on fire after an explosion at a water park in Taiwan caused a fireball to tear through a huge crowd today.
Coloured powder sprayed onto hundreds of people suddenly ignited, with flames engulfing people as they tried to flee.
Shocking footage of the accident shows chaotic scenes as victims try to escape from the flames while screaming in agony.
More than 200 people were taken to hospital after the blaze, with 80 in a serious condition. Miraculously, no fatalities have been reported as of yet.
It is believed that 1,000 people were inside the amusement park when the powder was sprayed on the crowd as part of a colour party - a festival of dance and music where people cover themselves in bright paint.
A video taken inside the park shows hundreds of people dancing as loud music is played.
But the crowd's shouts of joy suddenly become screams of terror as the powder sprayed over the crowds bursts into flames.
It took just seconds for the fire to spread through the throngs of revellers, with dozens seen running for their lives through the huge blaze.
Friends can be seen tripping over each other as they try to escape while the music and lights show continues.
Rescue workers and bystanders carried burned and injured people on their backs, in inflatables and on stretchers to get medical treatment.
New Taipei City fire department said 205 people were injured, with 81 suffering serious burns. Some suffered burns to more than 40 per cent of their bodies.
The fire at the Formosa Water Park near the island's capital was quickly brought under control, according to local reports.
