An sudden fireworks show apparently linked to a movie shoot on Treasure Island led to a number of social-media posts and message-board questions Wednesday, with few fast solutions.
In response to a social-media submit simply after 1 p.m. Monday by the San Francisco Treasure Island Improvement Authority, residents and guests to the island have been suggested of “movie exercise” alongside the Avenue of the Palms on the island’s west facet between 8 and 10 p.m. Wednesday.
“[E]xpect slight delays and fireworks over SF Bay related to manufacturing,” the submit learn partially.
“No influence to [S.F. Muni] route or stops. Enable further time alongside Ave. of Palms. Again-up filming Thursday night time based mostly on climate.”
With no different discover or warning, hundreds of individuals in San Francisco and alongside the East Bay shoreline have been dazzled, and a few distracted, by the sudden blasts that started simply after 9:30 p.m., with phrase slowly spreading on-line of the probably rationalization.
At first, the sharp, concussive rumbles and echoes have been mistaken by many initially for thunder (and no lightning or different precipitation turning up on radar), however consensus slowly arrived as social-media customers with Bay views started sharing photographs of fireworks over the island.
There have been no experiences of injury or different public-safety points on account of the blasts.
Movie exercise alongside Ave. of Palms this Wednesday night time between 8 and 10 PM, count on slight delays and fireworks over SF Bay related to manufacturing. No influence to @SFMTA_Muni route or stops. Enable further time alongside Ave of Palms. Again-up filming Thursday night time based mostly on climate.
