masteff 64 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Heard about it this morning on the radio... and it's really pretty funny to see! All the fireworks on 3 barges out on the water went off at once! Link to comment
gogoblender 3,071 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Was this sabotage? Can't believe how quickly it took for all of them to be used up gogo Link to comment
masteff 64 Posted July 5, 2012 Author Share Posted July 5, 2012 They're blaming software, but who knows if someone didn't find a way to hack in! http://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/Fireworks-Shot-Off-Early-in-Bay-161396045.html "The crew was up all night testing and retesting to find out what happened he said and they are "pretty confident" there was some sort of glitch in a computer program that was downloaded into all five systems coordinating the fireworks at all five stations."

Schot 407 Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Aaaaaaaand... Done! Shows over folks! Haha. "Whoops!" No doubt weeks if not months of work down the drain in a matter of seconds. I feel sorry for the team that worked so hard on it. That must have been very humiliating. Link to comment
Ryanrocker 200 Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Apparently the fireworks were supposed to be synced to music...guess they only had a 30 second song to work with Link to comment
Stormwing 40 Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Either way is possible. Someone hacking, or just some program fault, I mean. There'll be lots of debugging to be done, I guess. Really feel for them, awful lot work, wasted in couple of blinks of an eye... Link to comment
Etherian 76 Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 This could be a very extreme example of how to blow cash in just under 30 seconds. What a few hundred thousand? Well kids, time to go home now. Hope you enjoyed the show. Guess what? We can come back next year and see the show again. I remain, Link to comment
