Subdeacon Joe Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Sounds as if there was some sort of glitch in the electronic controls and when someone armed the system they all went. Kind of cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subdeacon Joe Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Article in SD Newspaper. Union-Tribune Article On Fireworks Show A single shell was fired as a signal to set the timing. Santore, who gave that signal from the roof of the Hilton Bayfront, said some rogue version of that initial signal “told” 7,000 shells to fire at once. 7,000 shells. Wish I could have seen it.

Calamity Kris Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 A computer glitch deep inside fireworks programming software created what’s been dubbed the Big Bay “blunder” on July Fourth, the show’s chagrined operator said Thursday. 1) Blame it on the computer. Isn't that always the conclusion when you want to pass the blame? 2) I'll bet some software engineer is going to loose their job over this. That's a mighty expensive "oops". {Calamity - tongue buried deeply in cheek - Kris} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
