Oban community fireworks fiasco

[potwalloper1]

Dara o'Briain brought me here!

[OHeannaDaithi]

@potwalloper1 me too :-)

[MrBlemph]

Reminds me of when I lost my virginity.

[xXNiCeZzZXx]

This it what i call New Year Evening :D

[w1ngedmarsup1al]

@Doggiefizzle9 there's no need to come the cunt with @johnnygreene93. He's only saying no-one gives a fuck about the technical side of the display, it's just a good thing to watch. Fair do's, what you said is most probably right but do you really give that much of a fuck that you've actually got in a YouTube argument with some random guy from no-where'sville. Fireworks are good all the time, in Oban there better!!!!

[doggiefizzle9]

@w1ngedmarsup1al Your right, probably not many people care about it. It's just about how he came across with the bad attitude. No need or call for it.

[Ali3nat0r]

That's what you get when you hire Michael Bay to do your fireworks display.

[LordTrilby]

This is how all firework displays should go off, it reminded me of the first night the Americans bombed Iraq to fuckery!

[strettyp]

to be fair fireworks get boring after about 5 mins - this is a great initiative from oban

[FinalRustyNails]

over in a flash!!!!!!!!!

[MafiaxReapeR]

i love fireworks

[MattLittleMatt]

I love the cheeky little firework at the end, trying to get in on the action.

[RANDOM71719]

Awesome vid love it

[gothbro111]

probably had all the firing system ports connected to 1 que on accident... or maybe they didnt cover the fuses.

[Behemos]

You really scared a lot of people with those fireworks, Jack.

[lirjonmessi]

lol i like the last one 1:22 ,it was like "hey where are u going O_o ,wait for me" xD

[chico815]

Awesome :D more fireworks like this!!!

[thameflyer123]

idea for the olympics, take the hint lord coe!!!!

[Anihalas]

so where is the rest?

[doggiefizzle9]

That's definitely brilliant! I'm guessing this happened because of a wet terminal, and because the lead operator didn't test each firing module for continuity individually.......countdown, fire one, short circuit....bang!

[jonnygreene93]

@doggiefizzle9 shut the fuck up...stop trying to act like an expert on the topic because no one cares

[doggiefizzle9]

@jonnygreene93 I am an expert you silly little cunt. If you've nothing good to contribute, just shut to fuck up. I explained how it happened, what's your take on it ? Ya rat!

[jonnygreene93]

@doggiefizzle9 The fact of the matter is no one gives a fuck!! So go and take your "expert" knowledge and show it off to someone who gives a fuck! You fucking loser

[doggiefizzle9]

@jonnygreene93 Its hardly the fact of the matter. Just because some silly jumped up teen doesn't like what he's reading. And you've a cheek to call me a loser...considering your the one trolling pages like a right keyboard warrior. Now pipe it down child, and get to bed.

[pearzzz]

@doggiefizzle9 this made me giggle "pipe it down child, and get to bed", :)

[SunsetSurfie]

OMG that must have been DEAFENING. Brilliant.

[motorbed]

fail.

[TheLEGOguy1212]

ur stupid, the camera should have focused on the bottom where it was mental, not at the top.Buck cool vid any way.

[b0lliks]

sod the next show, that was awsome, best i have seen.

[CrazyVicky3000]

bet the camera man was like WTF?

[brunsworks]

I think it's it's happened to all of us guys.

[oldnavyrum]

All fireworks displays should be like that! The ones in Cardiff this year dragged about ten minutes worth out over a long, cold half hour.

[rodgey1]

Brilliant that's how to do it. Just get on with it. Be nice if we could have films and plays doing the same thing.

[MrPaulie287]

to nattiechristopher my 9 year old rescued dog loves watching fireworks and never cowers under the table, since I rescued him as a pup I have always encouraged him to watch such things from indoors, so he knows that he is not going to come to any harm. We watched the re-run last night from the comfort of our home and we all enjoyed the show, well done pyro 1.

[777bigmick]

I think its better like that plenty of noise like blowing an arms dump up, get it over and done with then back to the pub.

[NattieChristopher]

Thank goodness my rescued dog wasn't anywhere near that. He'd still be cowering under the table. I used to love fireworks, but hate them now after seeing what they do to pets!

[777bigmick]

@NattieChristopher shut up you boring old neek

[TheMatthewwyke]

oy ygo8yy 

[ElaElaR]

amazing display..!! like new years eve in Sydney!

[J1mT4yl0r]

Tonight's re-run (27/11/2011) will be a damp squib by comparison to the spectacular display seen by almost a million people on YouTube.

I think all displays should emulate this one. Go out in the cold evening, watch the two minutes of high excitement then spend the rest of the evening reminiscing.

[owenooh]

Repeat after me..... "I will go back to hand firing", and * the effect on the timing.

[windomaker]

OOps! ...



[TheMrgokartcrazy]

oh god

[MissHeulwen]

Lmao, oh dear!

[Flemoipad]

This is what happens when you put all your faith in an automatic firer. Bring back the people with the port fires and hard hats... Cool display though

[Adschi2010]

cool

[PhenomShowcase]

Lets be honest, best fireworks ever! Its so boring when they come out one by one.

[Tbonelegit]

@gideonosbourne Yeah ur a genius, we could also celebrate the Unions return to strangling the shit out of Britain. What r u, a miner, or r u just humping the band wagon. I suggest burn Blair day, at least hes a relevant dick face.

[jamie24cfc]

57 people were trying to sleep when this happened

[chrisbeat1988]

sounds like saving private ryan

[Robloxjac123]

really why wasnt i there

[gideonosborne]

THIS WAS NO ACCIDENT. This was the rehersal for the firework display planned across the whole of the UK on the night that MARGARET THATCHER DIES.

This will be celebrated every year and will replace 5th November. Kids will make a Maggie and wheel it around the streets asking for " POUND FOR THE THATCHER" And on that special night she will be burnt on top of the bonfire.

Please don't make us wait too long DIE YOU BITCH!!!!!

[BradBrassman]

@gideonosborne.......What a brilliant idea, and every year the, "Pound for the Thatcher" will increase due to inflation.

[Valprop]

Valencia has displays like that lasting half an hour each time. Louder, brighter, more feckin mental!

[neilb229]

They should make this an annual show. Displays get boring after a few minutes anyway. Oban could have the first annual 1 minute display every year. Leaves more time for the pub.

[TweedEchidna]

@neilb229 EXCELLENT idea!

[StreetSoldier88]

I'd rather see this than wait around 20 minutes, that shit is fucking awesome.

[DutchAllstar]

how is this a fiasco? that was awesome, i agree with the other comments stating the timed bs is boring, it is! setting them all off = sick xD

[TALAPRINTS]

Fire in the hooooooooooooole!!!

[lolpervs]

Better than the timed bullshit!

[MrWolfengard]

Feel sorry for that one guy trying to sleep.

[TheEverEssence]

I would love a crowd reaction video.

[getspatout]

whoops...

[gbo2k69]

Wadsworth Constant applies

[itcouldb]

this happens to me in bed all the time...

[richardhowardnorman]

I can't believe that no one realised after 10 seconds that the computer controlling the dets (detonators) had been programmed incorrectly. Surely someone with half a brain could have turned off the computer's main switch!

[JimboVids]

If that was slowed down to a 20 minute show, everyone would have fallen asleep

[DTRbeast]

and thats how its done

[ironchopsticks]

this is a lot like how i have sex, quick and explosive!

[differentandalike]

BEAUTIFUL

[pibadar]

sounds like popcorn

[liedekerke1000]

And now in slow motion??

[taha70taha]

l0l this is all normal in the netherlands

[KagamineRinLen02]

Meadow Bank... Please follow suit!!!!:D

[KagamineRinLen02]

Meadowbank please follow suit!!!!!:D

[RoyPacShakur]

hahahahahahahahah DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM THATS HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLA FUNNY! All the way from OAKLAND CALIFORNIA! -East Oakland Roy

[bulldoggrrr]

i swear that never happens

[hughlingard]

Foreplay is overrated.

[MrRobbo1968]

that didnt go according to plan then

[TravasaurusRex89]

Was I the only one bored by this? I think fireworks that have some choreography to them are a lot better, especially when they build up and get crazy stupid in the end.

[KagamineRinLen02]

@TravasaurusRex89 I think your sorta missing the point here mate....

[TravasaurusRex89]

@KagamineRinLen02 Well I don't really know what the point was, but it doesn't change the fact that I was bored by it

[BestDriverJobs001]

Got to love ADD pyros!

[iwantpussypie]

this put Oban on the map

[choggan100]

cudni organise a gangbang in a whore house



[mburg777]

Oban needs PriligyTM

[Pooledogg]

I spent NYE at Sydney Harbour Bridge in 2006/7...I wish it had been this quick.

[batamgalan99]

there is no excitement of fireworks when you watch it on screen

[ThEbOyTeAsEr1]

oops!!!

[xxxxxxxxxxvxxxxxxxxx]

... I thought it was amazing!

[LadyPersnickety]

The people's ears must have been ringing for days

[meltingEyeballs]

Premature ejaculation.

[swh13]

I was thinking £60,000 seemed a hell of a lot for a fireworks display so I looked it up: it was £6000 not £60,000!

Somebody needs to get their facts right before posting public comments...

[benben99100]

It was the intro, body and conclusion all in a min.

[pyro1fireworks]

Pyro1 would like to confirm that the original show was designed as a 20 minute family show for £5000 plus VAT

We thank everyone for their kind comments and cannot believe how many views this video has received.

We are returning to provide a finale display for Sunday 27th November. Be sure to check our website or our YouTube channel for the video of this show later that evening.

[A5593GM4DHJ]

@pyro1fireworks Hope you don't come too early again ........

[hTTrick]

still ended up nice..

[MainManPhillis]

and thats how I lost my job.

[ooiamsamoo]

60,000 dollars on fireworks? shame on you fatty americans!!! 60k could feed thousands of disadvantaged families in america OR 60000 dollars could keep one average fat american family happy on pappa johns and taco bell for the next six days!!!! how can you justify spending 60k on fireworks when there are fat americans out there eating less than 30,000 calories a day? BAD AMERICANS!!! love ya'll

[Nayson]

@ooiamsamoo (Oban is in Britain mate)

[swh13]

@ooiamsamoo More like shame on you for not knowing Oban is in Scotland...

[drew2225222]

@ooiamsamoo What has any of this got to do with america ???

[Annariz]

They should do it like this every time

[redarrowhead2]

expensive? they would have all gone off anyway that night who cares

[Dennerzinho1]

That must have been expensive LOL

[madmechanic78]

Um....oops?

[chrishoppe]

someone got so promoted...

[makinote9]

seriously?? That's very few fireworks for 30 minutes. okay, it's a fuckload for a minute, but not enough for the time it was meant to last...

[OllieWheats]

I love the last one thats well after all the others

[differentandalike]

BEAUTIFUL. 60,OOO IS A LOT OF MONEY.

[hunnebee93]

I feel like this was some sort of metaphor for premature ejaculation

[DrBrainweed]

what is so interesting they do this like everyday at disney world lol

[cirqueduchat08]

@BrockadeKnight actually, I'm really sorry, I just understood what you were saying! I am obviously one of the retarded people! Lol!

[cirqueduchat08]

@BrocadeKnight it is a celebration of the foiled plot. A 'Guy' is always burned on the bonfire.

[BrocadeKnight]

"Why fireworks in November?" and "celebrating a terrorist plot", my god there are some retarded people in the world! The 5th Nov reason for fireworks only pre-dates the 4th July reason by 171 years! And then like now, sane people celebrate a FOILED plot!

[repairdrive]

I think that was actually pretty cool!

[Stuwiebhoy]

Wow 1:24 "The Finale"

[MrMuddToYou]

All fireworks shows should be this quick.

[kiannakittykat1]

they r having another display soon hope all goes well for them.

[s8rown]

Too funny! Tears everytime I see it. That last fireworks is just the final insult...poor Oban.

[Huesux]

sounds like popcorn XD

[CamoDrako]

The fireworks cost £60,000. FAIL

[noodx]

Cadê o fiasco?

[Biiazi]

@noodx Os fogos foram lançados todos de uma vez, acho que é isso...

[caroegc]

@horamerda2 Oban is in Scotland.

[Zacko94]

more like a FUN-asco... lolz

[imN0Ttheone]

Thats kind of like my sex life

[UnrealSnipa]

BANG BANG BANG BANG BANGIN ON FOOLS

[79Schulzy]

mhm beautiful :)

[jeanely14]

I don't understand why this getting that much atention. It's just hitching firework dammit. Don't people have more important things to care about? Like hunger in the world and us being controled by fucking corporations?

[TheVintusify]

Next time show us the bottom of the firworks ALWELL

[Murder0redruM]

The fireworks operator blew his load a little early..

[chrisf1982]

Haha. It was over in about a minute. Gutted.

[steino12]

Check this video out! Crazy guy with rocket! haha /watch?v=9Ti6sXhK-Dk

[scottmog]

Looks like the finale of a disney firework show which happens every night at 930pm...

[mutzigmorzine]

@scottmog I'd be surprised if Disney put on such a shit show, too many going off at once is not a good thing, less is more.

[joshwashposh]

does anyone else ever just think, one day will everyone have been in porn? there's just so much of it.

[marysue52uk]

looks good



[Smithpolly]

Technical hitch? One minute is just about the right length for a fireworks display. OK, I'm not saying the lights aren't pretty, but you're usually freezing your ass off outside.

[MrJamjam87]

I get the same problem

[099Jallen]

oooooooppsss

[differentandalike]

BEAUTIFUL

[serfox1]

So, basically this is like the first minute of the Edinburgh end of festival fireworks to me... I'm underwhelmed. :P

[HenceAndOtherwise]

@eth6706 No, "hitch" is a different word all together. They have spelt it right. And a "technical hitch" makes perfect sense.

[m4rkyboy]

(Grabs tin helmet)

[FrozenDodoBird]

Was that really a mistake? Or just chuck testa?

[giridai]

hahahaha///looks amazing though



[MrEM4N]

That was a quick $60,000.

[plisplis00]

@MrEM4N No it was a quick £60,000 Oban is in Scotland not America!!!

[Connelly90]

@MrEM4N The fireworks cost £6000, there's NO WAY they would spend £60,000 on a fireworks display for Oban lol

[eth6706]

It's spelled glitch. Not hitch.

[eileenwarren1]

Think Guy Fawkes would have been proud

[differentandalike]

BEAUTIFUL. WATCH UNSCRIPTED DOWN TO EARTH VIDEOS LIKE YOU NEVER SEE BEFORE - WATCH - YOU SYMBOLIZE HOPE

[MadFranko008]

A quick bang is better than no bang... ;-)
