GR's 2007 Fireworks Rain Death Down Upon Pearl Street Viewers


Recommended Posts

You guys were not imagining things - GR Press

Seems they had to use different shell sizes this year due to some safety issues.

"Zambelli kept the 4-inch shells out of the program because of a temporary sculpture that occupied the center of the pedestrian bridge used as a launching pad. It meant the larger clearance area needed for 4-inch shells was unavailable, he said."

That would be the Tom Otterness covered wagon (isn't that named something like Journey West although it's facing east?). Noticed its proximity to the rental truck beforehand, wondered if it wasn't in the way.

A few shells exploded low, but so what? If yer too dang lazy to come DT, go participate in Amateur Hour on your street. At least we got the fireworks again.

[and I got to meet the guv!!!]
