Late night open thread

A simply AMAZING show put on by Macy's tonight. Awesome in its audacity of THAT many shells. You'd worry some cool shots and shells could get lost in the sheer number, but it was all so well done.

Perhaps the wildest part of a wonderful evening was the Oklahoma Land Rush that let loose on the Hudson River the moment the fireworks had burst their last shell. It was insane people. Big boats, little boats, sailboats, boats with no lights and all these boats either creating or getting wailed by the wakes running in every direction. THAT was worth seeing. So many wayfaring seafamilies almost met their end in Davy Jones' Locker on the Hudson.

Here is some video taken by Johnny himself (Note his attempt at hilarity for blaming a stupid American flag for ruining a perfectly good Independence Day by blocking his shot) from his vantage point on the Hudson tonight especially for you the Jersey City Desk reader. We have some excellent other video we hope to share with you in the upcoming days.
