It goes on like that all night, almost every night. I lived in the area for a while and just couldn’t get enough of it. It is truly sad to see such a unique phenomenon disappear. Not to mention the practicalities of it being a huge generator of tropospheric ozone.

Since the phenomenon itself is not fully explained, it is even harder to explain its failure. It is believed that it has to do with the current drought on the area, related to El Niño. That said, it was slowly weakening before the drought began, probably as a consequence of silting of the delta due to development of the area.
Someone needs to update the Wikipedia article accordingly.
At least it had the link to the news article.
Here’s another YouTube video. I hadn’t heard of this before but it looks spectacular. I hope it isn’t gone for good.
