To me, it illustrates the difference between celebration and remembrance.

It's probably the largest deliberate LNG explosion ever in the US. The main burn of the Man at BM 2008 was supposed to have been as impressive. Unfortunately, one of the squibs setting off a propane jet didn't quite work. The blow was lopsided. Big booms are coming to the burningman regionals as well. This year at Interfuse in Booneville, MO, they set off concussion fireworks at ground level (20 of them) to make a big boom. Wished I had a video to share, but it was awesome.

Liquefied natural gas, or LNG, is probably the most BLEVE-capable. The tankers that carry LNG are floating bombs just waiting to go off. There are two detonations that take place in a BLEVE. The first detonation is of the stuff that's already gaseous. Then, when the liquid changes state due to the heat and becomes gas, you get a second detonation and subsequent fireball. The shock wave can knock you down at distances of several hundred yards. And you WILL feel the heat.

Whether that's a quarter-stick on the street 10 feet away or a professional class B burst as close as legally possible... well it's all the same to me. But being in the NE it's more likely to be a professional display.

They don’t bring up the pace but they do get a great “oh, ah” factor; and you always see the young couples snuggle together (that is of course if you can see the audience). Then you hit a couple of titanium salute to wake them up and bring the pace back up. Although I had some great star mines in the last show I did. They had tiger tails rising, went dark just before apogee, the ended with electric crackle.

And since this is a fireworks & such tribe, why NOT ask? I'll start this party off w/mine. Follow up if ya wanna! My personal fave is a movie effect that's beautiful to see, yes, but also to smell & FEEL. It's called a Lampari. I know y'all have seen it, cuz it's a movie effect common when they set things on fire. For lack of a better term, it's the fire ball that looks like a mushroom cloud as it goes up into the air. You can be standing about 20' away & feel the heat from this baby, as well as the "whoomp" shake of this effect as it goes off. After that, my 2nd fave is the that whistle & kinda "squiggle" off in all directions in the air. I think they're called "fishes" by the fireworks community. They seem just so...festive & fun! Well, that's my start to this. Weigh in, I'd like to get to know what y'all think!
