VIDEO AT LINK............................
A lovely re-enactment from my childhood. Roman candle ball landed in the fireworks box. The difference being we weren’t in a neighborhood and didn’t have near as many fireworks. The incident still lives in my mind 50 years later.
Murica! F Yeah!
NOMINEES FOR DARWIN AWARDS?
Last words before it blew, “You need to put it in the ground, it’s not going to work.”
In my misspent youth fireworks days A kid had a gross of bottle rockets light off while he was holding them when a stray spark hit it. Quite fun to watch him doing the high step to get the H’ out of dodge.
Only thing missing was the music
We have a one acre “party field” on our farm of 8 acres. We have a deck with lots of chairs so us old people can watch safely. But I look up over from where our 42 year old son is safely shooting things off half way down the field and these crazy parents have given their 13 year old girl a Roman candle which she is holding and shooting as she stands close to everyone else and in the general direction of where our son was. I freaked out and chewed out the parents. Felt bad a bit for the little girl but even she should have known better. No one hurt.
Tis the season for False Flags...
Jan 6, Pittsburgh supermarket, July 4 mass shooter... and now this backyard.
Like someone dropped a cluster munition in the middle of the neighborhood.
ABC News disappointed their test of GM Trucks didn’t work.
Quote: “Now that’s a memorable family gathering....and scattering”
There may be some permanent rifts. Family counseling or PTSD, not sure which applies.
Ride of the Valkyries comes to mind................
DO NOT FIND A FIELD! Do NOT launch fireworks in grasslands! Only launch fireworks from asphalt, concrete or something else that won’t catch fire (easily, yes, I know, concrete and asphalt can catch fire, but not from fireworks).
200 feet is excessive. You can barely see them from that far away! Rule of thumb: be twice as far as the claimed distance of projectiles. (Fireworks go “20 feet” in the air? Be 40 feet away.)
The fireworks stash being so close is the big one.
After the smoke cleared, they all gave each other high fours...
Impressive! Let’s do another.
Always buy fireworks from reputable dealers.
I have found that the guy missing two fingers and wearing an eye patch always seems to have the best selection.
“You’re doing it all wrong.”
Sounds like he knows which ones give the most bang for the bucks.
Maybe they owned the stand and firing off the unsold items.
