At 8:00 p.m. on April 22, on Le Duc Tho Street opposite the fireworks display site, 800 meters from My Dinh Stadium, a large crowd of people waited to watch the fireworks display to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the liberation of the South and national reunification (April 30, 1975).
People gathered on the overpass on Le Duc Tho street to see the fireworks clearly at close range.
On the evening of April 22, the weather was cool, around 25 - 27 degrees Celsius. People spread out mats on the median strip of Le Duc Tho Street and waited 2 - 4 hours in advance. The price to rent mats and park vehicles around the area is about 50,000 VND. The family of Mr. Manh Hung, 33 years old, in Me Tri Ward learned about the fireworks display through social media. "It's almost 2 hours until the show starts, my family came early to avoid traffic jams," Mr. Hung said.
The fireworks were scheduled to be launched at 9:45 p.m., but in reality they were 5 minutes earlier, making people very excited.
