Oban display hitch sets fireworks off at once


A technical hitch at the annual Oban bonfire night display set off thousands of pounds worth of fireworks within a minute.

The show, organised by Oban and Lorn Lions, was expected to last about half an hour and was to be accompanied by music.

After the unexpectedly short display, an announcement was made to inform the crowds that the fireworks were over.

Posters advertising the event had advised that the fireworks at Mossfield Stadium would start at 19:00 prompt on Friday and visitors had been asked to donate generously to help cover the costs.

 

 

hahahahahaha...     "would start at 19:00 prompt"   

 

 

 

 

 

I dunno why this has tickled me so much

Even if I had been there..    been one of those "poor parents with my disappointed kids"  I would have found it really really funny...  

 

its hardly the end of the world is it?

 

 

This news story has been the highlight of my bonfire night season 

 

(anyways...  I am uber biased on this one..    I struggle to justify the upset in millions of households with stressed frightened pets all for the sake of people having a nice time oohing & ahhing for an hour)
