I went over to the WDW Magic forums and it seems that there is much confusion about what happened. A lot of the people on the thread about this thought that it was nothing more than a burn off they do all the time, only a little louder than ususal. As I kept reading more and more information was coming in and it was something that was not planned nor was it a burn off. One of them caught a picture of the lagoon right after the loud boom and you can see smoke coming off the "Inferno Barge". No one was hurt but the show will be down until they figure out what happened. So I guess as time passes we will find our more about it. Thank God no one was hurt or that more damage wasn't done. The fellow who was there and got the picture said the explosion was very loud and shook the ground. A lot of people came out of restaraunts to see what had happened. The previous night something behind the China Pavillian exploded causing a lot of smoke. They say that the Pyo guys are working on a new effect and that may be what's happening. The shells are exploding before being launched, which is a bad thing. These two events may be related but no one seem to know for sure.
