Fireworkus Interruptus
Fireworks explode off the top of the Space Needle, bringing in 2008, as seen from a condo complex on lower Queen Anne.

As the sun rose Nov. 23, using a key he said he got from a former employer, Collier County deputies say [Brady Lee] Wright hopped into a backhoe at a construction site near Florida Sports Park and drove a quarter-mile to a nearby Regions Bank. Using the backhoe to rip out the drive-through ATM, Wright then pushed it about a quarter-mile down Sierra Meadows Boulevard in the backhoe’s bucket.
Unfortunately for Wright, he set off a silent alarm when he ripped the ATM from its base. That alerted deputies, who arrested him at about 6:45 a.m. and charged him with burglary, grand theft, criminal mischief and committing a felony while wearing a hood.
