3 idiots, illegal roman candle fireworks, and an open window .... [View all]
So you've nuthin' to do on a Wednesday night in Brooklyn? Why not go out to a nearby 15' wide driveway between two houses and set off some roman candles! Why not point that roman candle horizontally, like a gun, and shoot the pyrotechnics sideways, barely missing your buddy (who doesn't seem to notice them flying by)? Why not go back inside and get more fireworks, oblivious to the fact that your last shot went through an open window, setting the room on fire?
I'm thinking an altered state of consciousness was involved here, given how long it takes them to actually notice the fire underway, neatly captured by a security camera on a nearby building.
The fireworks flasher was arrested for arson on last Thursday.
The 'money shot' occurs at around 11 seconds into the video below:

The house post-fun doesn't even look all that bad, considering!
