Fireworks "Malfunction"

Denny Burk:

Last night, there was a mishap at San Diego’s 4th of July fireworks show. Through some really bad malfunction, all the explosions went off at once. What was supposed to be an 18 minute firework show set to music was reduced to 15 seconds of pyrotechnic pandemonium. In the video above, you can hear when spectators begin to realize what happened, and a little kid says “Aww!” Classic.

I feel sorry for the folks who carted their families out for a show that lasted a mere 15 seconds. The upside is that the spectacle—brief as it was—looked something like the death star exploding at the end of Star Wars. See the picture below.
