There was supposed to be an EARTH SHATTERING KABOOM!

I have seen a homemade diet Coke & Mentos bomb go off with far more impact than the average fireworks so lets ban them too.

We live in Flynn ad quite often hear loud bangs and booms coming from the Charnwood area. God knows what they get up to in the depths of Charnwood at night…

I think a RiotACT get together where we compare bomb making techniques and compete for the bbiggest bang….

Don’t even need anything as complex as acetylene – a 1.25L coke bottle with some dry ice jammed in it and left for a while will make a bang that can be heard echoing off the mountains around Kambah. So I’ve heard.

oh my! loud bang! must ban fireworks! Why must the answer to everything be to ban it?

Best way to make a big bang legally would be a balloon filled with acetylene/O2 mixture rather than using domestic fireworks as they don’t have the punch, if you ask me.

There was a loud bang out Kambah East way in the early hours of last night.

Didn’t hear your explosion, but the Higgins Shopping Centre had its month old Australia Post letter box destroyed during the week, so it appears there are still plenty of fireworks in circulation. Come on John Hargreaves, get Cabinet to ban them before someone is seriously injured.

Does a combination of gunpowder, kerosene, petrol and styrofoam count as fireworks?

you don’t need legal fireworks to blow up a mailbox.
