Sorry, just getting around to posting this. We had quite the display set up in my back field. Had 3 firing areas with stock piles setup behind the shooting area. The mistake we made was having the extra mortars under the firing table. Somehow a spark got under the table and set off a chain reaction to all the firing stations and the 4000 shot finale that was pre wired. All is normal until the 1:03 mark and then you will see the explosion on the ground. Of course the fire department had to be called. :oops:
Thankfully no one was injured.

You just know any kid that saw that will be let down by any future fireworks display. Dangerous but very impressive glad nobody got hurt!

I heard a fire fight for a minute. That was some display. You will have to let us know how next years display goes.
Thank you for sharing.

You know it's funny you mention a fire fight because one of our friends did several tours in Afghan/Iraq and has PTSD. He was messed up while it was going off. He said it brought back a lot of memories. :flags-waveusa:
God bless our troops wherever they are.

I thought I saw a strange glow in the northern she that night. Didn't realize it was the Aurora H20-ealis.
Glad no one was hurt.
