A gaffe at a firework display in Scotland saw pyrotechnics which should have lasted 30 minutes launched in a matter of seconds.

The result was that Oban Community Firework display went off with quite a bang -- or rather several at the same time. While the display should have lasted half an hour, the technical hitch meant they were all launched within 60 seconds.

Apologising for the pyrotechnic mistake Councillor Roddie McCuish told the crowd: "I have some terrible news -- the fireworks have all gone off at once."

I think that must have been a huge upset for the audience. However I have just read on another website that the company behind the event, Pyro 1 offered to provide another show free of charge. So after all this $9000 show didn't end all in disaster.

I think that the sight would be very entertaining if it all went off at once but the worst thing is that all the people that went to go see the fireworks would be so confused.
Just imagine all the money that would be wasted.
Aparently there was a fire on the bardge but it was quickly extingushed and no one got hurt, lucky.

It would have been cool seeing all of the fireworks going off at once but imagine the confusion of the spectators, and the money wasted for all of those fireworks. There was also a fire on the barge but it was quickly extinguished and no-one got hurt. I would feel so sorry for the organisers because everything went off in one hit.
