Fireworks have to be the best part about the Fourth of July. There’s just something about loading up on M-80s and bottle rockets that makes you feel like a kid again. Unfortunately for these poor bastards, the whole explosives thing can go so incredibly wrong, it’ll make you think twice before launching that Roman candle out of your ass, this year.

Just the term “local news” invokes thoughts of failure. And that’s not really fair, at all. We’re sure there are tons of local news anchors, reporters and weathermen who do their jobs fantastically. But if these 15 hilarious videos are any indication, the entire local news industry is wrought with flubs, mishaps, crashes, falls and a whole lot of cussing. Enjoy!
