What's the official time the calendar clicks over? Eastern Deadlight Time? When the fake ball drops?
That's 2200 locally.
Meantime, the rubes in the trailer park behind the apartment-house property (yeah, classy neighborhood; this city used to be a village and used to have no zoning)
...they've been shooting off guns for an hour. A few fireworks, too - but I've spent a lot of time on the range; I know a gunshot from a bottle-rocket.
They're not bruddahs, nor La Raza, so I'm not worried about THAT - but, even if you shoot straight up, that bullet WILL land somewhere. People get killed every New Year's from idiots shooting off guns like that.

True.
Depending on the angle that the Gun is fired at, the bullet can still penetrate & kill when it returns to earth.

For the first time ever fireworks had been banned on New Year’s Eve due to lack of rain and the fire risk. Despite this, there were many vendors of fireworks on the streets and on New Year’s Eve a large number of fireworks were set off. 
It seems that the fire was started by a firework, most likely a Roman candle which was held too close to the ceiling which may have been made of polished starring and caught fire. The flames propagated rapidly and quickly spread through the rest of the building through the air-conditioning units so people who were on the ground floor and first floor also found themselves trapped. The disc attack where the fire started was underground and the staircase to the exit was very narrow, which caused complete panic because a huge number of people were trying to escape and falling over each other and couldn’t get out. 
Crans Montana. Dozens dead, about 100 severely burned. Update at
Crans Montana is not facing a happy new year as we learn of the death of tens of young people celebrating at a disco tech called Le Constellation Crans Montana is a tiny ski village in the mountains of Valais in Switzerland.

The story I read was, it was caused by a waitress rigging candles into the necks of wine bottles.
As Pilate said, what is Truth? Truth and the German/Germanic mouth, never connect.
And what are the Swiss, but just the upper-crust (floating pond scum) from out of the Vaterland?
