WHOA! I need to go there and launch some rockets! Over 25,000 rockets prepared, which is pretty crazy.

People have died though which is definately not a good thing. I would love to go watch from a distance but would not want to fire a rocket and kill someone..... Odd tradition but I wouldnt mind seeing a vid of that show.

There is a video on the site, the link is at the top right of the page. it's not brilliant quality though.

The aim of the 'celebration' isnt to kill the opposing congregation, just to piss them off a bit.

I know that I just dont want to be responsible for having fun but accidentally killing someone instead of just trying to piss them off. Though not good quality of video that was crazy the amount of and shear volume of rockets soaring through the air.

I saw that on CNN a few days ago, the video they showed was amazing!

This is one of the islands web pages about it.
