It appears from the reports that a fireworks display in San Diego fired all at once. This is not the first time this has happened. What I want to know is what firework firing system is this. What is the cause of this? Please see video.

I just was watching this video. I can only imagine how bad that pyro crew felt and how speechless they were to watch helplessly as their show went up in smoke literally!

I have to know what firing system was used. There is no system I know of that pressing one button fires three different positions at one time. I suspect I know what system this is. If anyone out there can find out what fireworks firing system this is I would love to know. I saw this occur once before I think it was the UK.

I didn't find out what system yet but it looks like Garden State Fireworks http://www.gardenstatefireworks.com/index.html was the firm that shot the show. From the last story I read it sounds like they were using a computer cued system and somehow the timing got changed so that the body and finale fired immediately after the opener.

I have to know what firing system was used.
An individual who said he worked that show last year with Garden State Fireworks said they use the FireOne system. The general consensus is that was caused by some sort of Time Code glitch. But I'm sure it will be a while before we know exactly what happened. My heart goes out to the team that put the show together. What a major letdown. Thankfully no one was hurt.

Garden State Fireworks stated to fox news that they would reshoot the show free of charge, they also said that a corupt computer file caused the problem. If I messed up I would also try to blame it on a computer problem lol..jk.
