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
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.
