I really wish they would outlaw the sale of fireworks to individuals. They seem to do more harm than good. A few nights ago, one of my flights departing Chicago Midway had to return to the gate for inspection. Apparently some yahoo was setting off fireworks near the airport, and at least one went off near the back of the aircraft and might have actually hit the aircraft. The flight attendants heard two loud BOOMs. It caused a delay of maybe 30 minutes while our mechanic went out to ensure the aircraft wasn't damaged. I hardly need to mention the number of personal injuries and fires that personal fireworks cause.

Nice to see that Kaboomtown in Addison was one of the top three!
