In the US, a computer glitch ruined a $100,000 firework.

The light show in California was supposed to last 18 minutes, but due to a glitch in the computer program, all the fireworks burned out in less than 30 seconds. Thousands of people came to see the annual light show, wading through traffic for hours. And the title of the best festive fireworks deservedly goes to the Japanese who are obsessed with pyrotechnics. Symbolic portal to the New Year.
