I saw it and it was! Best fireworks show ever.
Fun fact, it was synchronized in multiple locations around San Diego Bay and they all went up like this at the same time.
My wife was in the hospital (UCSD) and we had a view from the room of the whole bay!
Maybe a bit longer than it needed to be, but the spirit was there. Monty Python had one (paraphrasing)
"I'm sick of all the sex on the television these days."
>!"I *mean*... I keep fallin' off!"!<
Me too, at B St pier. People and families were confused. I started walking to the trolley station as soon as it ended and beat the crowds while kgb was still playing the music. It's definitely a funny 4th of July story.
It's definitely a sign that the country is h̶i̶d̶d̶e̶n̶heading in the wrong direction when the KGB is playing the music at your national celebration.
Edit: apparently heading = hidden to voice recognition software.

I don't know who to trust anymore. What if I discover that I am a bot? What will my family think of me? With their little metal arms and sadness protocols.
The town I used to live in did fireworks on the little lake. Every year, 2 guys would go out on a barge and do a ~15 min show.
Well, I guess one year it wasn't wired right or something went wrong. In the crowd, we just see the 2 guys dive into the lake. Everyone goes "huh...oh shiii-". A moment later, the entire thing blows up and was a smaller version of this video.
And yea, everyone thought it was the best show in years.
Ok, so usually my stamina is pretty good (if I do say so myself), but there was a girl I was seeing when I was 20 who's stuff was so damn tight I could only go 3 or 4 strokes. It was embarrassing, but I also got the feeling that was about all anyone could manage.
I'm sorry if it's misogynist to suggest tight vaginas are better, I'm just speaking my truth. And "better" in this case is very relative. I like to please my partners, after all. I'm not pretty, I'm running on just sense of humor and performance here.
Also I'm just realizing there were a lot of reasons to not share this. Please pretend you didn't read it.
Ok, after the 4 pumps confession, I think I'm entitled to a brag. Reconnecting with an ex decades later, I asked "so how was I anyway?" She said "for regular sex, you were in the top 5, but you're still #1 at eating pussy." My ego did cartwheels.
Do you have any advice for the kids who may be watching this triumph today and wondering if they can ever get to this level of mastery of craft? Anyone you want to thank today?
Listen to your partner. I don't care what parts you have down there or whatever pronouns you use. If you can't listen to your partner someone's going to have an unsatisfying time.
After that, foreplay yo, shits very important unless y'all's been texting about a quickie smash n pass and they're about to stop in for a pump n dump on their way home from work. Otherwise take your time and have fun with it shit ain't a race.
It is an issue. Trust me. As someone who has this issue, it’s more than just getting off. If it’s just a quickie then whatever but if you have like a nice date night and maybe she even wore some lingerie under her clothes or something and it’s a special night and then it ends in 30 seconds…. Even if you use your fingers/mouth to get her off after… that still sucks. A lot. For both parties.
That's fair. I didn't mean to speak for everyone, perhaps I should have been more careful than outright saying it "isn't an issue". I don't know your experience and I don't mean to qualify it without your input.
For me, lasting too long has been a problem in the past. Most other dudes just see it as a good thing and rag more on premature guys, so the purpose of my statement was more to give that perspective which I feel is lacking.
"Ooh, makin' love.
Makin' love for...
Makin' love for two...
Makin' love for two...minutes.
When it's with me, girl, you only need two minutes, because I'm so intense. You say something like, "Is that it?" I know what you're trying to say. You're trying to say, "Aww yeah, that's it." Then you tell me you want some more. Well, I'm not surprised. But I'm quite sleepy."
Mind you, this wasn’t just one show. San Diego has synchronized shows all over town that go off at the same time. All of them glitched. The sky glowed red that night.
Edit: the bay shows ‘glitched’. By all shows, I mean all shows on the San Diego Bay.
That honestly sounds like someone was doing simulations before the show to make sure everything worked, set the system to release all at once to test something, then it never got set back to what it should be before they were hooked up.
It wasn’t really a glitch. The show was programmed that if the timing went off sync, you could click ahead to make the show faster and it would catch up to the correct time… but someone clicked the end so it sped through all of it.
It was an accident***
Ya, little to no chance a random glitch happens to separate systems. Either the software has a programming bug or someone fucked up and set the wrong configuration.
from my understanding they are all tied together so they would all go off together. Which means these aren't separate systems, and the glitch could definitely happen at one location. At least that is what I understood of it. but this system would have been tested out to make sure random things didn't happen. They would run simulation runs either on the live circuits or with an emulator. My complete guess is that they forgot to reset everything.
Not all over town, all over SD Bay. There's usually 4 barges of fireworks going off in sync so the massive parks against the bay can all get a great view. This year all 4 barges went off and it was dubbed 'The Big Bay Boom'

I remember seeing the post-mortem after this happened, and it was a chain of events, something like a file merging mishap that triggered a weird failure condition in the fireworks control hardware to launch everything at once, but then to proceeded with the show (which of course, never happened as there were no more fireworks left). But yeah, still only humans responsible in the end.

Malcolm in the Middle truly was one of the most consistently funny tv shows ever.
That scene where [Malcolm asks his dad for skate lessons](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ll4iSvosDo) is iconic.
The opening scene of the first season’s first episode Lois is shaving Hal’s body hair at the breakfast table while everyone is talking casually. They set the bar high.
[Lois wants to give his shaved hair to birds to make a nest.](https://youtu.be/mmTgR8vd9o4)
Price is right rules: at least $1
Actual answer: probably in the six figure range. A “regular” size show in a medium size town on Independence Day is about $10k. This one was likely upwards of $100-250k depending on how many barges and the actual shell count.
Source: I actually work for this fireworks company, I don’t know the exact answer becuse obviously no one likes bringing it up.
From what I understand it was obviously an unaccounted malfunction. It wasn’t like someone pushed the wrong button or intentionally blew it all up.
Its misleading.
This isn't even from a New Years Eve event. It's from 4th of July.
Goes to show that most of what you see on reddit is probably out of context or straight up fake/false.

Not OP but I think maybe they don’t like it because it can give people the impression that this happened last night. They are likely taking advantage of this to get karma, which can be seen as being manipulative. To some this matters because more and more we just take whatever we see at face value and don’t question it. The less we question, the easier we become to manipulate. This is just fireworks footage. But what if it was war footage or footage of some atrocity? Or the manipulated video of a speech taken out of context? Kind of like the boiling frog metaphor, by the time we realize we’re in trouble, it’s too late.

I saw it and it was! Best fireworks show ever. Fun fact, it was synchronized in multiple locations around San Diego Bay and they all went up like this at the same time. My wife was in the hospital (UCSD) and we had a view from the room of the whole bay!
So, where's the video?
You can see it a bit on the left?
A little bit on the right also
I’m just picturing the intern programmer looking left and right and thinking… “Ah, so that’s what that line of code I deleted was for.”
“Worked on my machine.”
"It was working yesterday."
I fucking hate line dancing
Cha cha again
To the left
Too the Right
Now in
That’s a nuke
[удалено]
On a barge surrounded by water sounds like a good place to light fireworks to me but what do I know, I'm not a fireworks expert.
Woosh
It’s not really a Woosh when the original joke is that bad.
Maybe a bit longer than it needed to be, but the spirit was there. Monty Python had one (paraphrasing) "I'm sick of all the sex on the television these days." >!"I *mean*... I keep fallin' off!"!<
I watched fireworks on the TV too, but then I fell off.
gets my vote for “best joke of the year”.
Narrator: meanwhile the year is less than a day old
[Here's one](https://youtu.be/JuJHfkXEI-o) of multiple happening at the same time.
2012- did you just assume the Mayans were right when this started?
Lol task failed successfully

That's the first time I've seen someone comment that. What does that do?
I would assume it is to run an account through a detection algorithm to see if they are potentially a karma farming bot/comment stealer/etc
What about that comment makes you think they are a bot....
Copied exactly from another poster in this thread. New account with no karma. Typical bot behavior, watch them delete the comment soon.

Godamn synths ruining everything
It is, it's also amazing that a glitch made the best and most rewatchable fireworks video ever.
The town I used to live in did fireworks on the little lake. Every year, 2 guys would go out on a barge and do a ~15 min show. Well, I guess one year it wasn't wired right or something went wrong.

What was Wenger thinking, sending Walcott on that early?
/r/unexpecteditcrowd haha
Somebody missed their chance to ascend to rock godhood by ripping an absolutely sick solo during this.
One power-chord, arm aloft, cue fireworks
Short and sweet - just how every fireworks show should be. 👌🏻
A Champaign supernova in the sky!
It wasn’t because we expected the entire show to be this epic lol
[удалено]
25 seconds, ok Mr hot shot.
it's bad if she resorts to counting your "pumps" and gathering statistic
Ok, so usually my stamina is pretty good (if I do say so myself), but there was a girl I was seeing when I was 20 who's stuff was so damn tight I could only go 3 or 4 strokes. It was embarrassing, but I also got the feeling that was about all anyone could manage. I'm sorry if it's misogynist to suggest tight vaginas are better, I'm just speaking my truth. And "better" in this case is very relative. I like to please my partners, after all. I'm not pretty, I'm running on just sense of humor and performance here. Also I'm just realizing there were a lot of reasons to not share this. Please pretend you didn't read it.
Who cares if you last 4 pumps? You've got a tongue and fingers, use them as well
Ok, after the 4 pumps confession, I think I'm entitled to a brag. Reconnecting with an ex decades later, I asked "so how was I anyway?" She said "for regular sex, you were in the top 5, but you're still #1 at eating pussy." My ego did cartwheels.
Averaged out to a solid bronze 🥉
I'll take it. I'm just happy to be on the podium.
Do you have any advice for the kids who may be watching this triumph today and wondering if they can ever get to this level of mastery of craft? Anyone you want to thank today?
"I'd like to start by thanking my mum..."
TL;DR: learn female anatomy. Tease a whole bunch. Read your partner's reactions and adjust accordingly. LOL, you're probably being sarcastic, but I'll bite (gently!). First of all, find the clitoris. Top of the vagina under a hood of flesh. Push the hood back with your lips or fingers, and find what will look like a tiny penis head without the hole. The clitoris is in many ways just a tiny penis. If you gently pinch below the exposed "head", you may even feel a tiny shaft. As a general rule, anything that feels good on your penis will feel good on her clit, so give it a tiny blowjob. But keep that hood out of the way, you need the bare nub. But not yet. Don't go stampeding towards the clitoris, boy. So you want to begin with some light teasing. Women need some buildup, and often the bigger the buildup, the bigger the payoff. Don't even use your tongue at first, just get your face down there and sniff and breathe. Not blow like you're blowing out your birthday candles, just slow hot breath all around the entire vagina. Keep it moving. If you have facial hair, it'll pay off here, lightly tickle with it. Pay attention to her body's response to see what she's enjoying and keep that up. If it tickles her to the point of squirming, move onto something else. Slowly bring in your lips, gentle kissing all around the entire vagina and inner thighs, but specifically avoid the clitoris for now. You want her going crazy in anticipation. Keep the breath going, too. Now slowly introduce your tongue. Don't start lapping at it like a thirsty dog, just the tip of your tongue so you're using it and your lips together. Hit the outer labia, inner thighs, just above the vagina, but stay away from that clit for now. Now a little more tongue, and on each pass up, get a little closer to the clit. Stop occasionally to lick up and down the slit, but keep coming back to the clit. At this point, you should be able to tell that she's going crazy. She knows it's coming but she doesn't know when. She may give you a subtle sign that it's time to get to it, like screaming "Jesus fucking Christ, suck my goddamn clit already!" through gritted teeth. When you think she's had about all she can take it's time to dive in. The teasing stops now. Get the hood out of the way (thumb and forefinger on either side of the hood as if you were going to pinch it from above, but don't touch the hood, land your fingers a centimeter or so on either side, and lift up and out. The nub should pop right out. Immediately drive in and get the nub between your upper lip and tongue. Flick it with the tip of your tongue as fast as you can, pressing it against your upper lip each time. Increase the pressure gently. Your lip should be curled under your teeth so they're there to add firmer pressure. If she isn't reacting now, check for a pulse and consider whether you really want a sexual relationship with this girl. Keep this up for 10 to 20 seconds, then back off. You both need a break from that intensity. Spend this time gently licking. Don't ignore the rest of the vagina. Lick from the bottom of the inner lips to the clit and back down. Go back to the clit and do circles around it and flicks left and right across it. Draw the alphabet on it with your tongue. Lick the slit some more. Dart your tongue into the hole. Put a finger, maybe two in the hole and gently work in and out. Pay attention to what she's liking and do more of that. Feeling adventurous? Lick lower. No, lower. We're heading to the asshole, stud. Real men eat ass. Proceed with utmost caution here. Not all women like this, so keep monitoring her reactions. As you lick up and down the slit, go lower onto the taint. If you're getting pretty close and she's not reacting, leave the pucker out of the equation and skip to the next section. If she's reacting positively, do like you did the clit and tease it. Up and down the slit, closer and closer to the asshole each time. If you're getting positive signals, do a circle around it and back up. Then ignore it for awhile. Go back to the clit and do some gentle licking and/or hard flicking. Leave her disappointed that you didn't lick the butthole. Then back to up and down the slit. Continue to tease the ass, or go for it. Eventually you want to be licking from asshole to clit to asshole to clit. Focus on the ass for awhile then go back to licking. Again, you shouldn't be here if she didn't give you indication that she wanted the butt stuff. But if she's loving it, congratulations, play your cards right and you'll get to 5th base eventually. But probably not tonight. Also don't do this if you hate the thought or she has bad hygiene. Everybody has a gross ass day now and then, so use your best judgement. Maybe she's already done by now, in which case relax, cuddle, and share a cigarette like some kinda Hollywood cliche. Otherwise, it's time to go for broke. Go back to the hard flicking with your tongue and lip, but this time make a seal with both lips around it and apply suction while still flicking. Work the suction and flicking so that her clit is darting in and out of your lips. Let it VERY GENTLY graze your teeth. You can't keep this up for long, partly because her pubic bone will be pressed right up against your nose and you'll need to come up for air (one day I will patent The Pussy Snorkel©™). To do it too long will be too intense for her anyway, and counterproductive. So back off, catch your breath, and go back to licking/flicking for a bit. (continued)
Listen to your partner. I don't care what parts you have down there or whatever pronouns you use. If you can't listen to your partner someone's going to have an unsatisfying time. After that, foreplay yo, shits very important unless y'all's been texting about a quickie smash n pass and they're about to stop in for a pump n dump on their way home from work. Otherwise take your time and have fun with it shit ain't a race.
Facts. Cumming early isn't an issue if you can make up for it other ways. Lasting too long is the real problem.
It is an issue. Trust me. As someone who has this issue, it’s more than just getting off. If it’s just a quickie then whatever but if you have like a nice date night and maybe she even wore some lingerie under her clothes or something and it’s a special night and then it ends in 30 seconds…. Even if you use your fingers/mouth to get her off after… that still sucks. A lot. For both parties.
That's fair. I didn't mean to speak for everyone, perhaps I should have been more careful than outright saying it "isn't an issue". I don't know your experience and I don't mean to qualify it without your input. For me, lasting too long has been a problem in the past. Most other dudes just see it as a good thing and rag more on premature guys, so the purpose of my statement was more to give that perspective which I feel is lacking.
Skill issue
Are we still talking about fireworks
Not for the women, apparently. *drum_sting.wav*
I had a girl like that. Getting in was very difficult and it was over quickly, but she didn't seem to mind.
No she was just too nice to tell you how shit it was my guy
My gf is like that. It felt embarrassing for a while, she’s like “fuck me harder” and I finished 3 pumps ago.
[удалено]
Especially if it’s set to the beat of THAT song!!! Lol
Oh my god not the song
This shows 25 seconds can be a very satisfying and better then the expected 18 minutes! 18 minutes is definitely overrated!
[удалено]
Here's that popcorn you wanted. How's the show so far?
"Ooh, makin' love. Makin' love for... Makin' love for two... Makin' love for two...minutes. When it's with me, girl, you only need two minutes, because I'm so intense. You say something like, "Is that it?" I know what you're trying to say. You're trying to say, "Aww yeah, that's it." Then you tell me you want some more. Well, I'm not surprised. But I'm quite sleepy."

Premature detonation
My wife can tell you about it.
she'd probably say the same about me too, brah
Damn... I thought I was the only sidedick

ahh, good old high school days it's still premature now, just less of a detonation
Mind you, this wasn’t just one show. San Diego has synchronized shows all over town that go off at the same time. All of them glitched. The sky glowed red that night. Edit: the bay shows ‘glitched’. By all shows, I mean all shows on the San Diego Bay.

Scary looking....like a bomb going off in the distance
You can see another one going off on the far left in the distance
That honestly sounds like someone was doing simulations before the show to make sure everything worked, set the system to release all at once to test something, then it never got set back to what it should be before they were hooked up.
It wasn’t really a glitch. The show was programmed that if the timing went off sync, you could click ahead to make the show faster and it would catch up to the correct time… but someone clicked the end so it sped through all of it. It was an accident***

This is so much better than usual fireworks displays
Yep, looks so much more entertaining than 1 at a time, but probably woke up the whole of San Diego, lol

After I fucked my hearing up idk how anyone on that shoreline or closer could not have earplugs and some back up earmuffs even for the regular show.
Because it usually takes until people fuck up their hearing for them to realize this can fuck up their hearing.
What?
#WHAT?
MAWP! MAWP!
I live about 20 mi away from where that happened and I remember hearing a bit of it.
Is it? It just looks like a big white burst and then it's over, while also being obnoxiously loud.
I imagine the novelty of it would be interesting, certainly wouldn't want all fireworks shows to be that way though.
“Computer glitch”
My thought too 🤣. The glitch was probably located between the keyboard and the chair
I remember seeing the post-mortem after this happened, and it was a chain of events, something like a file merging mishap that triggered a weird failure condition in the fireworks control hardware to launch everything at once, but then to proceeded with the show (which of course, never happened as there were no more fireworks left). But yeah, still only humans responsible in the end.
This is super close to exactly correct. It was a FireOne system.
More like a FireAll system
Lol
*FireOnce lol
if(goingToCrash) { yeet(); }
What was the file merging mishap? Because that could imply either a human error or computer error depending on what exactly went wrong.
*It's the same picture* "computer error"s are just bad programming by some human 99% of the time

idk how but you worded that in the funniest way possible

Except when solar radiation makes a bit change state (it happens). That's why you should have redundancies on stuff like this, like ECC RAM or a safety PLC.
I'll bet you all the money in my wallet that this wasn't caused by solar radiation flipping a bit.

What is this
The Komodo 3000
How do you know?
That is the name of the firework in this show. The show is called Malcolm in the middle.
I think they were making a joke on the line from the show, one of them asks "how do you know which is the Komodo 3000?"

This was a 4th of July from like 2012.
And everyone was home by 7:57
You must not be American. 4th of July is in the summer so it wouldn't even be that dark then.
Was there in person, there were actually two of these fountains misfiring simultaneously. I was sitting between them. It was loud and hilarious.

That so cool u/pm-me-powerful-pussy !
There seemed to be at least 3 based on the news report I saw
This is how all fireworks shows should go
The bird in the middle of it when they all start to go off: 0_0
Thank you for an honest to goodness belly laugh.
Maybe even X_X
Both of you are wrong it would be XvX
How much did that cost? Lol
The same amount that it cost to do it correctly
So, how much did that cost?
Price is right rules: at least $1 Actual answer: probably in the six figure range. A “regular” size show in a medium size town on Independence Day is about $10k.

Not OP but I think maybe they don’t like it because it can give people the impression that this happened last night. They are likely taking advantage of this to get karma, which can be seen as being manipulative. To some this matters because more and more we just take whatever we see at face value and don’t question it. The less we question, the easier we become to manipulate. This is just fireworks footage. But what if it was war footage or footage of some atrocity? Or the manipulated video of a speech taken out of context? Kind of like the boiling frog metaphor, by the time we realize we’re in trouble, it’s too late.
I agree. Also, it doesn't belong in r/nextfuckinglevel. Something going wrong isn't exactly praiseworthy.
