Video: 4th of July Fireworks Failures

Jamie Reidy shares some less than successful Independence Day fireworks displays.

From the funny people at the World Wide Interweb:

In my neighborhood, like so many others, we had a bunch of guys who assembled their July 4th fireworks arsenal as if they were invading the former Soviet Union.

My parents forbade me from participating in any such detonations. (Add “fireworks” to a long list of banned activities like riding motorcycles and being out after the fire station whistle at 7:00 PM.) I was the only kid prevented from watching the fellas – none of whom were recruited to M.I.T. – attempt to avoid blowing themselves up. On July 5th, I’d get the rundown on the previous day’s ”awesome” pyrotechnics. I developed a very unAmerican dislike of the 4th of July.

Watching this NSFW video, though, made me thankful for Mom and Dad’s over-parenting.

  1. What’s trending every Independence Day is not only the most awaited events like sales on selected products and discounted concert tickets but also some unsuccessful events that can be memorable for many.
