[zaphodbeeblebrox]

"On the island of Koh Pha Ngan (Ko Phangan), Thailand, A New Years Eve firework show goes wrong and ignites the rest of the fireworks, while some of the people flee and the really drunk ones don't seem to notice the danger around them."

Saw the video. interestingly, none of my guests seemed to notice but then a large number of them this year are returnees and well used to that insanity that is Hadrin on a full moon/new years eve night.

if there were no reports of casualties then it would seem pretty normal.
