Now the new year has arrived here too. There was a weird situation for the passengers boarding a plane in Hongkong in 2025 and leaving it in LA back in 2024 again.šŸ¤¤
On TV, AUS and NZ were reported on as the first to arrive in the new year plus a particular mention of Sydney's fireworks as the largest in the world due to nine tonnes of explosives used.
Five people died in GER (two in Saxony) and lots were injured (losing hands, fingers, their faces burned, jaws broken, and eyes or teeth lost) when mucking around with heavy-duty firecrackers either self-made or imported from Poland. At my place barricades were built, waste containers burned down, and police and rescue personnel attacked and injured) šŸ˜” There're such crazy people out there.

Terrible Thomas.
German police and firefighters' unions called for a nationwide ban on private fireworks following dozens of attacks involving pyrotechnics on emergency forces in previous years.

This needs to be done. To my knowledge all unorganized firework displays were banned at least in my state if not the country after similar tragedies as Germany has just had. Same in WA Terry? As a child I recall looking forward to attending the local district Guy Fawkes bonfire nite, with accompanying fireworks.
