Start at 1:45 for first malfunction, then watch the rest. We were right underneath target area. I saw it coming, grabbed my wife and hit the floor. Couldn't shoot back, so I took cover. Thankfully it exploded about 10 feet in the air. Someone could have been really f-ed up. No major injuries thankfully.

Cripes, that would have been scary. Glad no one was seriously hurt.

I don't know how they was allowed to shoot that show. The safe zone is beyond "the shell diameter,times 100 feet". So a six inch shell would require the spectators to be over 600 feet away.WTF???

Well, glad you're all ok.

It's 14th july tomorrow, Bastille Day here in France, so there'll be firework displays all over tonight & tomorrow night too.

They're having one in the village for the 1st time tonight so I'll probably take the boy to that & then a big one up near the city tomorrow.

There're very few accidents here as it's extremely closely regulated.
