Fireworks were cancelled for us for Prince Albert. I guess the raging forest fire only a little ways away sparked some kind of crazy fire-ban. So the fireworks were out.
As for the incedent, I don't blame the pilots that much. It was war, and accidents happen.

This is where it was mentioned that they did not believe it was a B-52 Bomb, Liam.
Also, although it is not the source of my other statement about the AA fire being possibly responsible, the B-52 bomb is mentioned as being one of THREE possibilities (though the other two weren't mentioned, possibly because enemy AA fire as the cause wouldn't be sensational?) under investigation.
Sadly, the source of my other ststement has apparently disappeared, but it wasn't any more right-wing than CNN.
