I heard that the company that was contracted to do this will re-do for the public.

You don't even need bulb-mode to capture the entire show! A 20s exposure is enough!

We're talking about firework, right?
Most people do like fireworks very much! It is very sad not being able to enjoy fireworks! Firework phobia is a very dangerous disorder. It could affect your mood, decrease your productivity and spiral you into depression. I wonder if there is a scientific name for firework phobia?
If those scientists come up with a name, then treatment will probably be covered by insurance. :biggrin:
That San Diego accident probably created a lot of new cases of firework phobia and made old sufferers to relapse. Perhaps, class action law suite is in order.:biggrin:

I bet it was an Apple computer and not a PC that messed up

I don't know about Apple, but I'm very sure something there was manufactured in China!:biggrin:
