This is what happens when an entire fireworks display goes off at once

Might want to turn the volume down a little on this one

Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

The odd stray rocket is to be expected at a fireworks display, but a whole load was ruined in Italy this year when they all detonated simultaneously.

The incident was caught on camera and is worthy of a Michael Bay movie, the person filming simultaneously fleeing as the sky is lit up overhead amid a furious din.

Smoke billows up through the trees and shrapnel flies everywhere, with the display's designers helpless to do anything to stop it.

While there was no audience to enjoy it, it was kind of the best fireworks display ever – three minutes of flames and ferocity.
