Know, pretty much daytime where we were standing. what should be an 18-minute show explodes all at once. oh, my god! oh, my god! youtube videos uploaded by spectators capture the incredible scene from around the bay. just blinding white. it was a deafening roar of sound. we could see all the barges from where we are. the whole thing exploded, but they were all synchronized. they all went off at the same time, so that part of the show worked. less than 30 seconds later, it s all over. obviously i was shocked. my eyes were very wide, and jaws were dropped. and then everybody sort of turned around and looked at me, and i tried to hide, but i had no place to go. ....
