Firecracker

2009 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

Darwin/Wendy says, "Thanks for the submission, but by the time I reviewed it in december, BOTH references had been removed; youtube due to 'violation of contract" and also the new.com.au link was invalid. So unfortunately I cannot even begin to consider this incident... but it surely does sound stupid!"

Definitely Keep: Honorable Mention
We get lots of stories involving idiocy and fireworks but I don't think we've gotten a video quite like this. They certainly deserve an HM as far as I'm concerned. Thanks, Jim!
