    At the 1985 Orange Bowl between the Oklahoma Sooners and the Washington Huskies, the halftime show was a celebration of the 35th anniversary of the Peanuts comic strip and Charlie Brown. The show turned out to be anything but a celebration, as when all
    was said and done, 21 fans got injured and had to be treated at a hospital due to a fireworks stunt gone horribly wrong. This is the story behind the disaster at the 1985 Orange Bowl halftime show.

    I saw the subject line and was thinking of that Ashlee Simpson disaster...

    But then I saw about the 21 injuries and meekly nod my head.
