I was in Harbor Springs MI in the late seventies for their forth of july fireworks. Harbor Springs is a very wealthy town up near the top of Lake Michigan and they were famous for their elaborate
fireworks display.

The fireworks themselves were placed on a bardge anchored in the bay and were set off from a panel on shore. a hudge crowd had gathered and were just settling in when the fireworks started going off all at once. There was real panic with people screaming and running in a hudge herd toward the town.

I got out of the way and wacthed ,there were a lot of boats in the bay with people aboard wacthing the event. Several boats caught fire. Was really a wild scene.........
