: "During New Year's Eve 2022, I decided to go out last minute, so I was home getting ready at the time of the countdown. I had opened the sliding door before the count down, thinking some fireworks would be set off in the middle park area right outside my balcony. Sure enough, I could hear everyone outside cheering and ringing in the new year. Five minutes later, the first fireworks started going off from the condo next to mine and shortly after that the second set went off. It seemed to be going off without a hitch, and then something went wrong. I thought the fireworks were blowing up on the balcony, but in fact, they were being set off from inside someone's apartment! Happy new years!"
