A massive crowd gathered in Birmingham for a fireworks show that never happened, leaving many disappointed and confused.
Birmingham: So, here’s the scoop. Thousands of folks showed up in Centenary Square, all hyped for a New Year’s Eve fireworks display. But guess what? It was all a big hoax, thanks to some wild social media chatter and AI-generated posts.
Even though the crowd was huge, the police and security were outnumbered. Thankfully, things stayed pretty calm, and when the clock struck midnight, there were cheers and a few random fireworks from the crowd. It was nothing like the big organized event everyone had hoped for. It’s been ten years since Birmingham last had an official fireworks show.
The police took to social media to clear things up, saying they were aware of the rumors but confirmed there was no event planned. They really didn’t want people making the trip only to be disappointed.
Birmingham Superintendent Emlyn Richards also chimed in, urging folks not to travel to the city for the non-existent display. He reassured everyone that there would be plenty of police around to keep things safe and fun for those enjoying the night out.
