small question about fireworks

[Royall]

Just curious about the big bummers going off right now. How big of a mortar tube do the fire out of, and what is the average cost of those buggers??!!

[alaskyn66]

Just as a scale.. https://fireworks.com/products/aerial/re...le-mortars
Pro ones like the licensed org. do can cost a hundred dollars apiece.

Not as big as I thought.. I was expecting 4-6" tubes!! LOL

Thanks for the link AK

If you're just talking about loud explosions a lot of them are trash bags filled with propane.

I'll never understand the minds of people who make house-shaking explosions in neighborhoods that amounts to animal abuse. I guess they just don't care. Dogs' ears are too sensitive and it causes physical pain, not just terror. I also think they like thumbing their noses at the police because they know they can break the fireworks law and animal abuse law. It's so awful that there are so many cruel and stupid people in the world

Have you notice all the folks that go on and on about how climate change is a hoax, and those that don't care if the president is amoral? Same animalistic mentality. Though admittedly all that bang bang bang is rooted in some cultures that have had an impression on Hawai. But today.. methinks it's just evidence on how immature the common folks here are.
