fireball

In a corner of London's Canary Wharf, better known for finance than fireballs, The Hunger Games: On Stage has bought Panem to life in a purpose-built 1,200 seat arena.

Frantic, he helped his parents hoist his six younger siblings over a backyard fence as fireballs of ignited crude descended around their home, just across the street.

He watched a huge yellow fireball rise and grow, turning orange, then red, kicking up towering swirls of dust, boiling itself into the shape of a giant mushroom.

It is unclear what caused the plane to crash, prompting a massive fireball to erupt after it failed to take-off from the runway.

Those June meteors are rarely visible unless they produce exceptionally bright fireballs.
