Not so much a review, but an explanation for late start to the display.
Many people thought there might be technical problems, but that was not the case at all. During the protocol part of the evening, a bouquet of fireworks was shot. Unbeknownst to the audience, falling sparks from this bouquet ignited the fluff from the poplar and cottonwood trees that had accumulated amongst the bushes on ramp 1. This burned strongly enough to ignite the bushes themselves. Despite pyrotechnicians being in place with fire extinguishers, they were unable to contain the blaze and so called for the firemen (who are stationed at several places near the ramps) to come an assist. Indeed, I did notice a firetruck leaving the ramps a few minutes after 10pm.
Finally, once the firetruck had assured the security of the side and had left the site, the display was able to commence. Unfortunately, the Jacques Cartier bridge did not participate in the countdown as usual, probably confused by the late start to the display, which otherwise went off without a hitch. |
