Re: The Family Album
Amsterdam on New Year's is the closet I've come to a war zone. so many fire crackers that the ground is literally all red with the paper. Some guy had made his own firework launcher with about 40 tubes that held a rocket each and he was going to fire them off one of those canal bridges down the canal. He lights it and it shoots a couple down the canal, but then the force of these fireworks knocks his launcher off its perch at a perfect 90 degree angle and now it's facing directly down the road where we're watching from. So now it's firing down a crowded narrow street like the one pictured, and everyone one is sprinting away from the thing as rockets whizz past our heads.
kinda like the running of the bulls in Pamplona but with fireworks and while completely blazed.
