FIRE - BRIDGES and OPERA

Seldom, does so many elements so dear to my heart, come together to make such a perfect work of art.

Let's see:
  • The Italian Language, Opera and Rossini (I'm an Italophile),
  • The Commonwealth of Virginia (I lived there for two years),
  • Bridges (They connect us to otherwise unreachable places),
  • Miles of Det-Cord, Shape Charges, Blasting Caps,
  • FIIIYAHHH and THUNDER!!!



This Pyro is happy; though I wonder what the effect would have been if in place of an Italian Rossini, they would have used Appalachia's own Scruggs instead.

Two of my favorites:

1) Rossini's Overture to "L'italienne en Algerie" (The Italian Girl in Algeria);

2) Det cord + hand grenade daisy chains. 
 
Great editing!

I would have thought that Wagner would be more appropriate - something from Gotterdammerung, perhaps.

That first bridge looks like it was being built - I wonder why they blew it up.

[PS: found this one from Jerry Pournelle's site]

 
Are you sure that that music wasn't from Mozart's "Figaro's Hochzeit" ["The Marriage of Figaro"] ?         I coulda sworn . . .
Anyhow, it was fun and well chosen.
