Actually was not an explosion, that's just the way that motor works. It has titanium granules in the fuel matrix for doing the sparks. And I wasn't running. Just standing there taking my daily pyro shower. I was closer to the pad than normal (but still outside the Minimum Lethal Distance because the rocket had a tracking beacon in it that was on a frequency that was close to the wireless launch controller and was jamming the control link.
I used to shoot some large Fourth of July type shows, but after 9/11 the gooberment goobered everything up and the paperwork became really opressive... hard to get volunteer slave laborers to go through FBI background checks, alien anal probes, etc. Now, I am reduced to trying to get unsuspecting schmucks to connect the big red wire to the big black wire
