The Watering Hole

Since all private fireworks are illegal in California, people must go to "official" displays.
 
Well, all of the major fireworks displays in San Diego must work from the same place (or at least four of the major ones) and SOMEONE accidentally pushed the wrong button causing ALL OF THEM to go off ALL AT ONCE!!!   :o

Wow!  What a screw up!!!  Four displays all at once, I wonder how much THAT costs!

Imagine spending your whole evening around a 20 minute fireworks show and it being over in just a few seconds!  

Sounds like Kev's lovelife!   ;D

Yeah...  Turned out that there were actually five displays all setup along the bay, four on barges and one at the end of a pier.  They were supposed to all by synchronized to music being played by a local radio station and all of the test signals came back positively.  This final signal, given five minutes before the show was supposed to start, was meant to get the timing right for everyone.  Instead, 17 minutes of fireworks at five displays went off at the same time in 9 seconds!  ;D

They said they expected 500,000 people to be watching...
