Should have waited to launch on the 5th November.....much better than your average fireworks display.

Bet there will be a right mess to clean up and no one too keen to foot the bill either!

Still, I'm glad that there were no injuries/fatalities, could have been a lot worse. I wonder if it is possible to procure insurance against such a loss at launch. Many $$$$ up in smoke.
