Ozone hole above Disneyland? That is not how ozone layer works at all!
But if the ozone layer was stationary there would be a huge ozone hole over the USA because all the stuff your stupid cars burn! The fireworks is like 0.000001% of that or lower

The biggest danger with mortars is people getting body parts over the muzzle. Having a mortar shell impact your noggin is a very good way to learn how to push daisies upwards. It happens pretty much every year, sadly. As you might guess, alcohol is usually involved.

I’ve seen private estimates rate about $1000 per minute. Obviously this can scale to be much more expensive, if the client desires a more grandiose show.

When I lived on the island of Okinawa as a kid we had easy access to buy fireworks at the local shops. One popular firecracker was named ‘ 2B Bomb’
It was a longish cylinder and instead of a fuse you had to light it had kind of a matchhead, and you could just rub the head on a rough surface and it would aizzle then start smoking as the internal fuse caught and after a few seconds it would explode. Not very powerful, but very convenient for kids without matches.
Of course one of our gang stuck a couple in his pocket and while running around playy the heads of two 2B Bombs must have ignited each other because smoke started coming out of his pockets and he frantically tried to dig them all out before they went off😅

I wouldn’t describe the smell of sulfur dioxide as akin to “rotten eggs.” That is far more typical of hydrogen sulfide gas. Sulfur dioxide smells sharp and acrid – it burns your nose, and you can taste/feel it at the back of your throat (as it dissolves in your mucous membranes and creates sulfurous acid, not to be confused with sulfurIC acid which is ~5X stronger*). I have spent a good deal of my life working on, and exploring volcanic environments, and sulfur dioxide is frequently present in those places, especially the ones where magma is either erupting or close to the surface. And it is the same sort of thing that you experience downwind of a long fireworks show. Or, for that matter, when you strike a match.
*However, sulfur dioxide, both as a gas and dissolved in water as sulfurous acid, is an atmospheric precursors to sulfur trioxide and sulfuric acid – it’s not as stable a molecule, and tends to be oxidized to the much stronger acid.

His answer surprised me, I would have thought the most dangerous firework is one that fails to launch but also starts smoking — or that maybe there was a nuclear test in the 50’s that counted as fireworks b/c people watched it..

I mean, it’s not weird many people don’t like the smell of fireworks. It doesn’t just emit carbon monoxide and sulphur dioxide, but also toxic metals into the air, which are shown to damage cells and lung tissue. So I think its a pretty natureal reaction for a lot of people, it’s not healthy to breath in.

Great professional presentation!!! One very small correction: NOTAM used to be an acronym for NOtices to AirMen. The FAA recently changed it to NOtices to Air Missions. KInda silly, but I guess the FAA gets paid by changing regulations – not by leaving things alone!
@nercksrule
July 3, 2024 at 7:32 pm
The FARs were originally written in the late 70s, when there were not many women pilots.
Point of fact, the FARs still list a telegram as an acceptable form of communication of notifying the FAA of a change of address.

Patrick: “There is a myth that the ozone above Disney is totally charred, which means that’s probably why most people are getting a little bit more tanned at Disney World than they are around the rest of the world, but there’s no evidence to support that.”
Me: “For now. Don’t give Disney any ideas now.”

Already knew the answer for the most dangerous was sparklers. Don’t use sparklers while wearing flip flops, a chunk of molten magnesium can fall off the end and onto your foot.

You don’t need to notify the FAA unless you are within the range of the airport or base… If you’re more than 5 miles away the planes have gained enough altitude to be far above any fireworks and you aren’t in ATC airspace…
