8000/year injured by fireworks: 50% are burns (just how hot a sparker is: >1000\ufffdF) Half these are children. Wasn't clear about the spread of 'seriousness', fatalities etc.

More-% than at Afghani weddings, births /year?

I fear we shall become jaded with fireworks soon (too) - as computer real-time control meets more and more accurate flight/burn times of precision explosives.. Imagine: a 20 minute choreographed musical performance + timed fireworks. (now old hat)

Maybe they will come to be just like a Big-screen digitally created cartoon.. with granularity such that:

can 1240 x 1024 resolution be far behind?

Any way.. for now, and so far -



It's a B L A S T !!!
