The Keelung Yellow Duck that shockingly burst on the afternoon of New Year's Eve left duck fans quite bewildered. After inspection by staff from the duck manufacturer, Atmosphere Company, it was revealed that Keelung had been experiencing consecutive days of overcast, rainy, and cold weather. On December 31, when the temperature warmed up and rose, the internal air pressure of the duck increased sharply, causing it to burst from the inside out. Atmosphere Company also stated that they have been working day and night recently, and it is estimated that the yellow duck will return to Keelung by Saturday.

After assessing the damage and cause of the Yellow Duck's rupture on the morning of New Year’s Day, Atmosphere Company staff explained that due to several days of overcast, rainy weather and low temperatures in Keelung, the temperature warmed up and rose on December 31, leading to a sudden spike in internal air pressure. Additionally, as the Keelung duck needed to withstand the strong winds of the northeast monsoon, extra internal strips were added, turning the duck’s interior into something akin to a pressure cooker. This ultimately caused the duck to burst from the inside out. To prevent a recurrence of the bursting incident, the organizers decided to add vents at the duck’s tail and install an additional fan inside dedicated to pressure relief. When there are climate shifts or temperature changes, the fan can be turned on to help release air, which is expected to effectively prevent the duck from bursting again.
The organizers stated that the Keelung Yellow Duck has now been fully repaired, and they will evaluate whether the repair marks affect its appearance before letting the Yellow Duck return to Keelung Harbor this Saturday.
