"Thousands of people left last nights Musical Fireworks early after technical problems hit the event. A heavy rain shower an hour before the scheduled start time caused water to get into the electrics and delay the start. The second display stopped after about a minute and started up again five minutes later. At the end of the second display thousands of people left missing out on the final display of the evening."
