I GOT YOUR BOOP-BOOP-A-DOOP BABY!

As some here know I went to the mountains (back home) to see my friends and family.  We went to a fireworks display that is a traditional thing that has gone on for years from a wealthy family in Virginia.  But this year for the first time ever, a dramatic unexpected explosion happened causing injury!

It would seem that you never know what could happen when carelessness and alcohol partake with fuses and gunpowder, (a major accident waiting to happen).

As the traditional fireworks started, everything was a thing of beauty which lit up the mountainside with colors of our fourth of July celebration!  What we didn't understand is why they seemed to go off sooner then usual instead of way up in the sky like normal!  We even wondered why they had other things going off so close to the lined up fire power of the bigger fireworks!  Well, we got our answer in a way we kinda saw coming!

Apparently, the guys in charge of setting off the fireworks were drinking and to add cutting the fuses short.  Now to us common since people that within itself is asking for problems to happen.  And it did!  One cut down fuse took off causing that set of fireworks to explode on the ground and a chain reaction then followed triggering all the other surrounding fireworks to go off as well.  People went running to help the ones trapped within the line of fire thinking it was over and safe, and to get to those who where injured!  Wrong call but good intent!  Just as soon as they got to them a delayed reaction set off the rest of all the fireworks and all you could see is everyone running and diving to the ground as it exploded!  Once that was over with there were already people calling 911!  Three people were injured, one with multible burns throughout his body!

Why people take such chances such as this risking spectators as well is beyond me but hopfully there is a long time not forgotten lesson to be learned here now with smarter and wiser safety percausion that will be made for future traditional celebrations such as this!  Thank goodness no one was killed, just scared for life!  A display of fireworks no one could forget!

Any comments or opinions?
