Explosives

 This is another one of those "someone i know" blogs. Before "my acquaintance" had acquired some fireworks he created some works of fire. These works of fire have ranged from balloons filled with some flammable gasses to sparkler and some expanding gassed in a cone to create a fountain. With the balloons the "person i know" had a dozen balloons strapped to a string, strung to a pole with a sparkler on the bottom most. I have uploaded a time lapse picture of them exploding .

Not to go on about fireworks but at one the parties hosted by "my friend" he set off a little bottle rocket type firework. It squealed up but off course and ended up exploding about a foot above "my friend’s" friend's head.


This was but one of the many occasions when explosives have been  dangerous and fun.

FireWorks

A few years ago "someone i know" went around Australia. "their" dad had timed their arrival in Darwin perfectly with Territory Day. Territory Day is a holiday in Darwin that legalises fireworks for one fun filled day. "They" purchased a number of sets that were 1X0.5 m large and filled with explosive fun (amounting to around $1000) that night "they" thought everyone that lived in Darwin was on the beach, running around like headless chickens. for around an hour "they" set off as many fireworks as we could, even though at the end "they" still had enough to take home.

At home "they" use them sparingly because they were expensive and "they" are not likely to ever get any more. Here are some pictures of the "someone I know" enjoying one of the loud ones. These things can be dangerous but if you do it safely it can be Dangerous and Fun.
