San Diego has come up with an innovation for holiday fireworks. Put several barges in San Diego Bay and just launch every single one of them at the same time. It only takes 15 seconds for the show, everyone goes ooh and aww all at once and then get home early for a good night sleep! Last night, the computer command went out to get all the firework launches in sync with the music. Oops, the command triggered all of fireworks to launch at the same time. Fortunately, all the staff on the barges were in protective storage containers when they all launched. Nobody was hurt but the company is more than a little embarrassed. I can see it now, our city will spends millions to investigate. That would be millions we don't have!
