Brooklyn Bridge catches fire during Macy's fireworks display
Fire breaks out on Brooklyn Bridge following fireworks display. apnews.com/article/fire...
Laura51"A fire broke out on the Brooklyn Bridge in New York during the city’s July Fourth fireworks show, spreading flames and setting off a plume of smoke before firefighters extinguished the blaze. No injuries were reported."
Doxiedoc46Kinda stoked about not having to witness the 500 year anniversary of this country
CatCmdr139Is tRump on the bridge? Humour me!
Gyudon Giovanni27I’m gonna have to lower the price when I sell it again.
AnnTFa_LaLaLaLa23I hate everything about fireworks. They're loud. They stink. They cause fires. They blow up things that aren't supposed to be blown up, including fingers and limbs and faces. They deposit harmful shit into the environment and kill plants and birds and animals. They're not cool. They suck.

commentator at the macy's show to a little girl in the crowd: "what are you looking forward to about the fireworks?" little girl: "the fireworks" i mean asked and answered lol
bodhidave3When I once asked my then toddler daughter if she would like a ham sandwich, she said, "Yes." When I then asked her what she'd like in it, she said, "Ham."
Will Neuhauser 🗽⚖️🇺🇸🇺🇦🇨🇦🇲🇽🇬🇱2she’s no fool to be sidetracked by a foolish question.
Hip Model K1Listen, I’m 6 years old. I came for fireworks. I’m exhausted and not thinking clearly. What’s trump’s excuse?
Kat Michaels1She also asked them what was their favorite color firework. The looks in their faces...😳

Rosemary Picado Calhoun13Karl the Fog loves fireworks. Om nom nom!
PacifiCali 🟦🟧🇺🇦🇨🇦🇲🇽🇺🇸1Our ever present layer of fog at the coast once again muted the fireworks show ☁️🌉
Alison7They shut off access to the bridge for hours for this 🫠
Cian 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ (he/him)5This is such a ridiculous waste of money, they should be embarrassed.
Hyperlexic5the truly funny thing is that this is probably the best possible view through the fog
erin mccann5Truly love the commitment to the idea of doing this
BigRedDiver4That was the view from Marina Green. Here was the view from Chrissy Field: bsky.app/profile/sfch...
Rusty Staples4Idea: do the city fireworks in a neighborhood that won’t have a 100% chance of being blanketed by fog
Moxie Six2Remember Welcome to Nightvale? This is uber expensive version of the Glow Cloud.
zeldabizarre.bsky.social2Enjoy the multi color fog! Thanks Karl!
Peggy K2Who could have guessed there would be fog? 😅
Home. Not a fan of fireworks (in coast guard we did river security for Macy’s 4th of July in NYC so I’ve seen LOTS..) but this was nice enough. And not too long, which I appreciate. Large crowds enjoyed it without drama. Which I also appreciate.
just-catherine.bsky.social8Glad there was no drama. MC is glad you are home safe
Peach's Mom ❌👑7How did MeanCat take all the fireworks? 😺🧡
2 Legit 2 Quit 4Happy 4th of July! I'm glad you got to enjoy it!
Shoshana Bee4There was a time when I couldn’t tell the difference between bombs, fireworks, Or Thunder. In barracks during Intifada and 2 explosions. Midnight. Poured out for the shelter…only to get pelted by monsoon rains. We were relieved 😅
Misty the Cat Reads Banned Books3Macy's was nice this year, (except for some of the music.)
Dee Mack2Also not a fan especially for my pup. Neighborhood kept firing off until 3am. Sad that BSO sheriff’s office doesn’t respond to non emergencies. 🤬
New contribution to transplant discourse: only native New Yorkers know the Brooklyn Bridge isn’t supposed to be on fire
John W. Tomac11Brooklyn natives refuse to recognize the legitimacy of a consolidated Greater New-York
Sam G9You left out the weirdest part of the quote: that she's a mob wife from VH1's "Mob Wives"
Ayo7“to the untrained eye…a major bridge being on fire may seem unremarkable…”
mikemolloy3they light it on fire when you buy it, that's what the guy told me
passivelurker.bsky.social1Bridge expert here, it is NOT cute or funny, bridges only do this when they are very distressed
🔥 Part of the Brooklyn Bridge appears to be on FIRE as the NYC America250 Fireworks show continues along the East River
michael17friday.bsky.social4Damn, and I just bought it.
ONE INFINITY1They'll put this out quickly, that bridge is pretty tough. I hope nobody got hurt. -ONE.🇺🇸🗽🍎🎆
Big Natural Resources18oh no, how am i going to sell it now?
Em aka Red 🦋 🍂10Wow isn’t it just great when essential infrastructure CATCHES ON FIRE
Michael5Bodes well for mayor Danny blue jeans big "first ever fireworks off the golden gate bridge" tonight
Sharon 🫶🏻💙🦋🍿🐸🚫👑4I saw this earlier. No update yet. 🔥🔥🔥🙏
Ryan Deem4Fireworks can't melt steel beams
MatsSonDean2They're gonna blame this on Canada, just like when they did this at the Whitehouse in 1814.
Flames erupted on the Brooklyn Bridge as fireworks were being shot from it during Macy's July 4 display over the East River.
Grumpy Grandpa4Everyday there’s another example of how things suck right now
ɖɠɠųɬıɛཞཞɛʑ 🏔️4I just don't understand how we still put people and property at risk. So many better and safer options. Why this dangerous tradition continues is beyond me.

New York City always puts on a great fireworks show and it totally went above board for the 250 Anniversary. It was beautiful, until the Brooklyn Bridge caught on fire... wow. Ok, going to bed. I had enough. So did my poor doggo. Looks like she will be sleeping in our bedroom tonight with us.
Randy Pitler2Why wouldn’t your dog sleep in your bedroom every night?
CtK1Yes the domestic animals hid for cover In either the noise or heat wave too even they need cool comfort
Warr;or1I had to drug my dogs last night. It's so hard on them. Why can't we follow Collecchio? I love fireworks, but it's too painful to watch my critters cry and cower. Tis a beautiful video!
Glenna Prowant 🚫👑 🌮1I watched the Disney 250th special that ran on ABC for 24 hours. The fireworks last night from Nashville were out of this world in a spectacular blaze of color and sound. But the best part was the drone show. All cities/states should replace fireworks with drones: no noise, no pollution.
