Fireworks display goes off all at once in 60 seconds after technical hitch

The Oban community fireworks display in Western Scotland lasted one minute instead of 30 minutes.

The audience who came to see the Oban Community Fireworks Display got a surprise this year.

A technical hitch saw all of the fireworks released simultaneously, unleashing a cacophony of noise.

After the extremely short display, Councillor Roddie McCuish, one of the organisers of the event, apologised to the crowd of hundreds: "I have some terrible news – the fireworks have all gone off at once."

I have that problem sometimes too. But my wife is understanding.

The council are going to provide a free fireworks display later in the month as compensation. Who wants to bet that the original contractor will be footing the bill?
