Artillery Demonstration, Fort Malden National Historic Site of Canada

Artillery demonstration from the Military Heritage Days on August 2, 2009 at Fort Malden National Historic Site of Canada in Amherstburg, Ontario. I filmed this with my Canon Powershot camera so the video quality reflects that source. The occasional jolts are caused by a member of the crowd that kept bumping into me, except the jolt when the cannon were fired. The video sound gives no idea how loud and powerful the sound of the cannon firing really is. It's virtually impossible not to jump at least a little.
