Back blast areas all clear? Maybe not so much. Below is a prime example that real life is much different than a video game. That is to say, a small error can ruin your big day. It is hard to tell exactly what type of pyrotechnic they fired, but we can definitely tell they messed up big time.

Weddings are supposed to be memorable, but not in this way. You want people talking about the outfits, the food, the dancing. Not how someone nearly took out the matrimonial procession.

I wonder what the conversation afterwards would be like? Like, “Sooo, are we gonna talk about what your brother did?”

The people who had to YEET themselves out of the car were probably not to thrilled. Especially if they were wearing a fancy rental outfit for the occasion. Let’s not even begin to think about what a conversation with the car insurance company would be like. Although, it might happen enough in this town for it to be standard claim.

Funker530 reports this was an “Explosive Wedding Procession Failure In Algeria.”

Furthermore stating, “Although this video was sent to us under the impression that an irresponsibly fired RPG caused this mayhem, the more likely explanation is that some sort of recreation or industrial pyrotechnic device was used, as an actual RPGs back blast would have resulted in much more concussion and less smoke.”

Hopefully everyone made it out with no major injuries and can look back and laugh about it one day. Just remember folks, handle explosives with care!
