I was there

New DestructionMonts
Very nice
32 people died what a tragic event
A very pretty display though
I was in gosford while this was happening saw the fireworks from over the hills
超爽 我們也常常在空地這樣玩 把高空煙火顛倒放或是火藥倒出來塞進水管內拉長引線燃放
thats exactly what the streets look like in my country during new year

"is that suppose to happen"
First, there was laughing.
Then, there was screaming.
And finally some frantic running.
A pretty typical Ka-Boom Fireworks show.
I wonder how many earth worshipping global warming religion believers attended this event.
Oops …was not the best place to smoke that J I guess ….well sheeet …I sorry?
My backyard was more impressive…
I was there
Now that's what you pay to go see haha 😀
fireworks is moron culture
That was a fail
Welp someone dropped a cigarette. I wonder how many baby’s where scarred physically and mentally. Don’t worry, the man responsible wasn’t punished because he probably melted. But other than that great firework show just sucks for the cleaning crew that had to mop up and the melted faces
$$$$$$$$$$$$D<~~fireworks~~🎉

Somehow this was United States President Donald Trump's fault.
Those are some small kangaroos
Damn talk about a grand finale 😂💀
Those poor kids will be traumatized for life!💥
😰 Umm…at least no one died.
Glad only two we're injured.
I hope nobody received a long term injury 🙁
I bet they had a blast!😄
Lmao "is that supposed to happen?"
Somebody just got a 25 killstreak!
RUN and lay down!
Heh
Lol
I WAS HERE… THIS IS AT TERRIGAL BEACH!! I ACTUALLY POSTED THE PHOTO ON MY INSTA @SNOOPYTHEBEAGLE0222
YOU DON'T HAVE TO FOLLOW ME, JUST LOOK!!
Edit: The barge caught on fire soon after, but they couldn't send people out as it was dangerous conditions. We got cleared off the beach by police, and then, q firework flew sideways and onto the sand, near where we were previously sitting. Another one went off the side previously, but landed in the water. It exploded. We actually stayed and watched the barge slowly sink as it was engulfed in flames. We ended our new years with a bang!
No, it is an incident!
You all know that this wasn't intentional right?
Looks fine to me!
I know that this was an accident and people got hurt, but I'm not gonna lie that was pretty cool.
But did the front fall off? That's the real question here.
Now that’s what I call a finally!! 👍👍👍👍👌
That guy laughing at the beginning. Oh, gracious. That was hilarious.
I feel for the guy lighting the fireworks on the barge lol
fire did not work
it went down under
not a g'day mate
