From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
fireworks mode n.   1. The mode a machine is sometimes said to    be in when it is performing a {crash and burn} operation. 2.   There    is (or was) a more specific meaning of this term in the Amiga    community. The word fireworks described the effects of a    particularly serious crash which prevented the video pointer(s) from    getting reset at the start of the vertical blank. This caused the    DAC to scroll through the entire contents of CHIP (video or    video+CPU) memory. Since each bit plane would scroll separately this    was quite a spectacular effect.
