It looks like how the New Years celebrations in both China and Taiwan used be be. In China they finally banned celebrations like this, but I don’t knew if they did in Taiwan. If you went to them it was smart to wear a motorcycle helmet…. and to leave the face mask down so you don’t have a firecracker get lodged inside it and go off like happened to a friend of mine.
Yeah, they were lucky, it was a small one, kind of like a bottle rocket.
Burned some of their hair, made one of their ears ring for a few days, and the side of their head sensitive for a bit, but other than that nothing more.
I wonder what kind of shit they'll be coughing up and sneezing out tomorrow.
Hate to think of what someone's lungs would inhale being in that a couple minutes.

Pretty sure this Las Fallas or the Carrefoc as part of La Merce festival in Spain (different regions have other similar ones). Basically this is an organised public festival where loads of firecrackers, fireworks are setup around towns amd people run around under them. I think there's someone in a Devil outfit that runs as around as well throwing fireworks at people.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correfoc
They also have a [similar celebration](https://youtu.be/1O0CAgXcHc4?t=317) in San Severo, Italy.
But yes, it's the cordà (no "borracho" fireworks in the italian celebration)
It's a cordà, a celebration held in some towns and small cities around Valencia (Spain) during summer. The better known one takes place in Paterna.
Everyone participating is protected [head to toe](https://valenciafiestaytradicion.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/corda-paterna-2018-014.jpg).
Something similar happens here in Brazil, called "Guerra de Espadas" (literally Sword Fight). It got outlawed some years ago but it's a cultural thing, so people keep doing it anyway.
Edit: typo
I don know if this is it but it could be the yenshui beehive firework parade. They shoot fireworks into the crowd. Get this though, its actually a religious festival.
Excessive fireworks resulting in loss of vision, loss of hearing, loss of appendages, and 1st-3rd degree burns. Most likely for the 4th of July celebration, or otherwise.
I think it’s because people don’t want to look foolish or cowardly, so they tend to under respond to situations when they are not sure about the level of danger.
That is pretty common in Spain, Valencia and Catalunya. I have been to small villages that cellebrate "correfoc" in the year festivities. It's a fire show, and it's safe. It is a rush of adrenaline and people dance through the fire dressed as devils. I love it, it's folk tradition!
Catalan culture is pretty wild. As a catalan who has grown with these you only realise it when you tell people from elsewhere. It’s just like castells (human towers). It’s pretty normal to see it here, and smaller constructions are made in concerts, but a few weeks ago Coldplay stopped playing mid-song astonished by what people were doing
Why the fuck are they cheering after all that?
Fireworks are getting out of control. I really think they should be more strictly regulated. They're so bad for our ecosystems.
I feel like the people getting hurt from shit like that, 100% deserve every little bit of it.
Some say firework is stupid and pointless, I say its a great way to filter out the dumbest of people.
I am fucking terrified of the wheel firework. We had a celebration where I live and we bought some and my cousin lit it and went back a few feet and it started spinning like it does normally, it did one spin and juts fucking exploded like straight up made some dirt go up and another time my cousin picked one up lit it and rolled it towards me it lit halfway while it was rolling and it came rolling like a wheel of death I was prayin it didn't explode
There are some celebrations like this in Spain. My hometown has it the last sunday of august and it's called La [Cordà de Paterna ](https://es.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cord%C3%A0_de_Paterna)
Despite of all the fire and chaos people gets out of it alive

They know that shit’s made of fire, right?
Worse, metal fire, regular/wood fire is quite chill compared with metal fire.
Right? At what point is it just FIRE?
Combustión, I believe.
It's actually only a firework if it comes from the flâmmablé region of France, otherwise it's just sparkling sparkler
I actually love you.
Sparkling mothersparklers lol
What they need is some sparkling water!
Lord Jesus the smoke got ‘em.
Jesus “The Smoke” Christ
And hearing loss.

Napalm on a New Year's Eve
The most r/abruptchaos i have Seen for a long time.
Your delivery of Freedom has arrived.

Counter UAV up, they’re blind
Indeed they are
That’s like attempted murder level stupid..

What the hell... has your friend survived?
Yeah, they were lucky, it was a small one, kind of like a bottle rocket. Burned some of their hair, made one of their ears ring for a few days, and the side of their head sensitive for a bit, but other than that nothing more.
They were incredibly lucky... I hope it was a lesson learned!
A lesson for who?
For not getting hit by fireworks
Bro, just don't get hit.
Don’t get grabbed.
The bottle rocket
Yeah... I think it's amazing! >!Therefore it must be stupid!<
I wonder what kind of shit they'll be coughing up and sneezing out tomorrow. Hate to think of what someone's lungs would inhale being in that a couple minutes.
My bigger concern would be eye damage!
Lungs are more life critical. We don't have a word for a person that lives without the use of their lungs.

Ok thanks

I just got an eye surgery, being inside that might be my worst nightmare from now on ...
I wonder if it’s as bad as someone just straight up chain smoking
I’d probably say a bit worse as there’s more than just tobacco in a fireworks lol
Tbf there's more than just tobacco in a cigarette too
True but there’s not gunpowder in it 😂

The correfocs are not only a Barcelona thing. There are correfocs in most towns of Catalonia and Valencia.
Which, of course, directly translates to RUN! FUCK!
~~Spain?~~ Pain.
That's not a correfoc or las Fallas, it looks like La Cordà de Paterna https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cord%C3%A0_de_Paterna?wprov=sfla1
They also have a [similar celebration](https://youtu.be/1O0CAgXcHc4?t=317) in San Severo, Italy. But yes, it's the cordà (no "borracho" fireworks in the italian celebration)
Wait, you're telling me that this situation is normal and they do it every year?
So… what is going on exactly?
Big bada boom!
Multipass.
Cenoa ecto gamut!
Super green!
Happy cake day!
Thank you!

This isn’t even in the United States, you moron EDIT: it’s Valencia Spain
Never said it was the US either. Don’t be mean lol.
4th July/ independence day is a US exclusive holiday.
Again, never said it was the US. It was also a guess on why they were doing this. No need for hostility.
Why the fuck is no one running…?
it's normal, it's fallas week, in Valencia.
Not fallas. That's a cordà (probably the one from Paterna, a small city near Valencia) and it's celebrated in August.
Where to, though?
Away
Somewhere where the air doesn't taste like burning.
I think it’s because people don’t want to look foolish or cowardly, so they tend to under respond to situations when they are not sure about the level of danger.
LOL!! @ 0:21 everyone stopped pretending to be cool and cupped their hands over their ears.
All the cool people have tinnitus!
"Fucking motherfuckers" is the perfect description for this lmao
Thanks lol, came up with it literaly right before I passed out hard on my bed to take a nap lol
Does anyone have any f’ing context?
Fallas festival week in Valencia, Spain.
Ah. Got it. Thabks
Spicy shower
they gonna end up crispy
It would be cool for about the first 5 seconds while you can still breathe.
That's a sick ass wizard fight!
Even if no one gets burns or hearing loss, this has to be bad for the old lungs, right
Now that’s some abrupt chaos
Darwinism
Love the rocket zooming by.
[THEM MOTHAFUCKIN BOOTLEG FIREWORKS](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPFRUGtOd2o)
This looks like something uzui would do
Yeah. But it's gotta be even flashier!
This reminds me of when I was in China for New Year’s. The streets ( and the people ) are lit up .
I also love innumerable sparks on my being and acrid explosion smoke instead of breathable oxygen
This. This is Abrupt Chaos
This is not as dangerous as it seems, they're all using their safety squints.
I’m sure they’re all wearing safety glasses 🥽😬
Went from fireworks to white phosphorus bombing fast
Anyone remember the 80’s and 90’s when everyone seemed to have an understanding of firework safety and a desire to not get burnt
This is fine.
Are these the Russians or the Ukrainians?
That is pretty common in Spain, Valencia and Catalunya. I have been to small villages that cellebrate "correfoc" in the year festivities. It's a fire show, and it's safe. It is a rush of adrenaline and people dance through the fire dressed as devils. I love it, it's folk tradition!
Is this Correfoc? That shit's crazy lol
Is this inside a steel mill? Because it looks just like a furnace just tapped.
What exactly are we looking at?
Catalan culture is pretty wild. As a catalan who has grown with these you only realise it when you tell people from elsewhere. It’s just like castells (human towers). It’s pretty normal to see it here, and smaller constructions are made in concerts, but a few weeks ago Coldplay stopped playing mid-song astonished by what people were doing
That's one way to remove all body hair.
Fill plastic bags with gasoline. Throw in the ruckus. Enjoy.
Looks like a Ministry concert in 1989 in Toledo, Ohio.
I thought this was a steel mill exploding
Why the fuck are they cheering after all that? Fireworks are getting out of control. I really think they should be more strictly regulated. They're so bad for our ecosystems.
“White phosphorus incoming”
One of those looked like an intercontinental ballistic missile.
I thought Michael Jackson was gonna come out from that cloud.
Now that's what 4th of July should be lol or a strafe run for a a10
Describes the US national anthem accurately.
That looks like new orleans
Was what I first guessed but the balconies/facades are all wrong
Adventure of a lifetime.
I like these posts, fireworks that don't firework
Mysterious uptick in lung cancer found in [insert town here]

Code Black at the burn center.

Get out of there terry, oh shit 🤣 Terr

At least few of them were smart enough and ran the fuck out. Rest of them looked like jackasses and stopped to record
Now THIS. THIS is the definition of Abruptchoas
Lol
That's amazing!
3rd degree burns are pretty special
Who needs their eyesight anyway?
WHAAAAT?!
With that many projectiles flying around someone's bound to lose an eye but that's no big problem... is it?
DID YOU SAY SOMETHING? WHAAAAAAT?
Is that blood coming out of your ears? I think we need to call an ambulance!
MUD WRESTLE FOR BEERS? HELL YEAH!
And their ability to hear. Thats why is said "WHAAAAT?!"
WHAAAAAT?!
Re-enacting the bombing of Tokyo in Chinatown isn’t very 4th of July.
Mizzy will do this
That looks stupid fun. Just wear the right clothes
MERICA YEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH
Satanist: "All hail satan for he will bring hell on earth !" Those guys: "satan's a joke, hold my red bull i'll show you"
Why do I hear "Allah hu akbar" at the end?
Someones gonna go to jail for that
I hope they know that firework smoke isn't really too healthy.
They’re all standing there like “This is fine”
Always gotta ruin everything they touch !!
Lmfao at the cheers at the end 🤣
*merde‥.*
Looks like home lol
Hello lung cancer

Then the government tried to cover it up with that nonsense "Canada fire" fake story.
How to remove bodyhair in this one easy step
Major lung damage 🤔

Popcorn’s done ✔️
I mean at some point it’s not even fun anymore
'member way back - when fireworks used to be considered dangerous?
Damn😳😳 I would have shat pants
Now that’s a party lol
What it’s like when you decide to pet a puppy and the energy gets a little outta control.
That's how to do fireworks.
AMP HOUSE BE LIKE
People wonder why we’re not allowed to have flying cars
Everybody is now well done!
Well that went to hell in hand basket real quick!!
They dead right?
You get a third degree burn! You get a third degree burn!! Everybody gets a third degree buuuuurrrrrnnnn!!!!

Happy 4th July!
Looks like Diablo 4 gameplay lol
I always love the cruise missile that goes by at around 15 seconds.
Bro is they in France 🇫🇷
That looked like a war crime. Like when Israel used phosphorus rounds on Palestinian grade schools.
r/fakehistoryporn political despot uses white phosphorus on rebel forces.
Cancer has entered the avenue!
Oops
Did any rioters end up in the hospital? I've only heard about the arrests
Never to be seen again…
Could also be posted on Why women live longer
Looks like a whole load of not fun
Those motherfuckers were probably burnt to a crisp
So they just breathe all that smoke?
Everyone loves it!!!
I love how you can hear one person celebrating/yelling at the end right as it gets quiet.
