Holiday Fireworks Slip Up Saves Us All a Lot of Time
Posted by Wm.™ Steven Humphrey on Thu, Jul 5, 2012 at 9:59 AM
Did you skip last night's fireworks because a) it takes too long, b) it's too much of a hassle to get to, c) "YUCK! People!" or all of the above? Then check out San Diego's fireworks from last night which were all set off simultaneously by accident! The whole shebang took 30 seconds, which is just about right for you fireworks loathers.
