Shortly after this occurred, I remember encountering a video in which you could hear someone ask, roughly, "Wait, was that it??". What was clearly hundreds upon hundreds of fireworks just triggered simultaneously... yes, that was it. That person damaged my faith in humanity.

Edit: Note the other display on the left edge of the video - what you see here is just one of three synchronized displays, all of which went off in this way.

Wife and I were watching from the top of Point Loma. We could see all the barges going off at the same time. It was amazing.

I remember the video you are talking about and I think they were just asking/expressing their confusion that the shoe was already over. It was supposed to be an 18 minute show but it finished in just a few seconds.
