Worlds Largest Firework


It's something that everybody who loves fireworks, looks up for on YouTube...the worlds largest firework. It may seem the japanese made a 48" fireworks shell, however China did in fact, make the first fireworks shell before it was modernized by the Italians a few centuries later. I personally thought the chinese would take this record. This firework was shot up in the sky in September of 2006, but still holds the record as the largest firework shell ever fired. It weighed 926lbs, the burst altitude reached half a mile (800m) and the diamerter of the burst reached half a mile as well. This massive shell exploded and set off thousands of cars alarms about 2 km in distance. Half the city attended to this record breaking event.


Here is a video of the shell being set off, along with cars alarms being triggered.
