For anyone who missed fireworks on the 4th. A great chain reaction. Or so says Ralph, anyway. The action starts at 1:15.

    Bottle rockets have to be pretty expensive, I'm guessing this display cost several thousand dollars, or at least over $1000. If he would blow all this money for a cool fireworks display, he should have also invested in a camera with better picture quality than a Nokia flip phone. 240p?? Really??

    I doubt the video was the primary goal. Unfortunately I see a lot of that lately, people more worried about the perfect shot or movie instead of experiencing the event.

    Life is for living, not to make a recording for others to see.

    Good point, but still, he could just set the camera to "record", mount it to a tripod, walk away, and enjoy the event. It's pretty awesome, anyway.

    That was almost as good as the San Diego fireworks.
