OT: Premature explosification - pRICE cUBE - 07-05-2012

As part of it celebration of US Independence Day, the Californian city of San Diego planned a 20-minute firework display launched from barges in the city's bay.
However, an unspecified glitch set off all the fireworks for the show at the same time, meaning thousands of spectators saw only an intense 15-second explosion.
Firework organisers apologised "for the brevity of the show and the technical difficulties".

Was at a friend's house on Mt. Soledad to see the "big show" - it actually looked kinda cool for a bit, like four giant light bulbs scattered around San Diego bay. Thankfully, the Sea World show went off without a hitch a half hour later...

I hate it when that happens.

I still pull this one up from time to time-- I find it hugely entertaining:

(similar occurrence in Oban Scotland last November, except I'll bet that crowd left more satisfied)

Thanks for the link! Glad we're (San Diego) aren't alone...but we're apparently also not trailblazers, either : (

Au contraire-- you advanced the art by breaking it out into 3 identical prematurities.
I can't wait to see who takes it to the next level, and how.

To me, the music makes it somehow even funnier:
