The fireworks display in San Diego’s Fourth of July fireworks show suffered what one account called “premature ignition”. The entire 15-plus minute display went off in 30 seconds. This is not the first time something like this has happened. Below is an account from last fall when the same thing happened in Oban, Scotland. Are we doing something? Do you think?
In Oban, Scotland, a local fireworks display marking Guy Fawkes Day turned into a total fiasco. A technical glitch (that means a stupid mistake) caused the entire fireworks supply to go off at once. What was supposed to be a 30 minute show lasted less than a minute. Somehow we think Guy Fawkes, who is remembered as the man who tried to blow up Parliament in 1570, would have liked this massive blow up.
