SunsetSymphonyFireball

The end of the Memphis in May Sunset Symphony, 2010. There appears to have been something that went very wrong with the final volley of fireworks. In this video, you'll see several rockets go off normally, then almost immediately a dull orange fireball erupted from behind the stage, followed by a second fireball. It's hard to see from the vide. Black smoke was produced and a burnt smell (not the normal sulfur smell you get from lots of fireworks going off) hung over the air. Here is my video of the event. Unfortunately I only have this tiny featurephone video. I've tried increasing the resolution, but it's still not the best.

Actually dude, I was one of the pyro-technicians on that show and that is supposed to happen.

I've attended lots of fireworks shows and that was definitely NOT a normal firework smell with that last fireball. That, plus the large BLACK cloud of smoke and still screams "misfire"

However, if you are actual employees of the pyrotechnic company (and this being the Internet, you'll have to offer more proof than just saying you are...), then something needs to be communicated to the general public officially cause I can guarantee there are thousands of attendees who think the same thing.

we do not give out our pyro secrets but if you are in the memphis area on july 4th weekend im sure you can see that happen again if you attend one of our shows. we dont have to prove anything. that is our job to keep the public wondering. that is the reason we are the number one pyro company in this area.
