The unlucky Keelung Yellow Duck recently exploded unexpectedly, with its limp vinyl body floating in Ocean Plaza. The original hope of celebrating the New Year together with duck fans was dashed on the last day of 2013, leaving many fans stunned that they couldn’t spend “1314” with the little duck.

The Keelung Yellow Duck, having survived the "dirty duck" incident, had finally been cleaned and was originally expected to ring in the New Year in a fresh and clean state with its fans. However, it unexpectedly ruptured at noon today. The exact cause of the rupture is still to be explained by the organizers. This also means that the Yellow Duck, which was originally scheduled to frolic in Keelung for 50 days, will have to “call it quits” after just 11 days.
 
Zhao Chenyu, a witness at the scene, said that the weather had improved today, and there were quite a few visitors around Ocean Plaza. The moment the duck exploded, everyone felt as if they were dreaming — how could the duck suddenly go flat?

As for the Kaohsiung Yellow Duck, which showed solidarity during the Taoyuan duck explosion incident, whether it will step in again to substitute in Keelung remains to be decided after contact and evaluation by the Keelung organizers and the Kaohsiung City Government.
