Spectacular PHOTOS: 500 drones draw over Chain Bridge in Budapest

A drone show took place on Thursday evening in Budapest over the Danube and the Chain Bridge on the occasion of the premiere of the new Petőfi film, Most vagy soha! (Now or Never!).

The 500 illuminated drones displayed the portrait of Sándor Petőfi, the lines of the National Song (Nemzeti Dal) and a cockade in the national colour (red-white-green). According to Telex, the most spectacular part of the show was when the drone sword broke the drone chain. Viktor Orbán shared a photo on his Facebook page:

The creative producer of the Petőfi film, Philip Rákay, posted from the Várkertbazár about the premiere. He wrote: “Tonight at 18.48, we surprised the people of Budapest. 500 drones took off next to the Chain Bridge to paint the message of 15 March in the sky. This is how the creators of Now or Never! remember Sándor Petőfi and the heroes.”

Now or never! is a historical adventure film that follows the events of 15 March 1848, the start of the Hungarian Revolution and War of Independence.
