James Lau watched the fireworks being shot off near the JFK Library from his home in Quincy. Seems somebody rented out the library for an event tonight and figured, hey, why not shoot off fireworks for 20 minutes?

People heard them as far away as Somerville and Hyde Park.

Must have been perfect atmospheric conditions. I thought the locals were getting an early jump on the independence day festivities.
