Montreal Fireworks Forum

Hey guys, this is a quick post to let you know, there is a forum that I have been a part of for about three years, all discussion about fireworks that have been displayed over the years are discussed on there. I give the honors and thanks to Mr. Paul Mariott for having the time to make this blog and share it with Montrealers and many other pyrotechnic enthusiasts around the world. Visit the forum here.

Fireworks Display July 17th

Celebrating my mother's birthday, I decided to set off my fireworks on the seventeenth of July. On Canada Day, the rain was too fearceful to have some fireworks shot in the sky. So keeping them stored, I thought what better time than setting them off on my mother's birthday party. About 80 people are expected to attend this party, barbecue and live rock music played as well. This will be a very enthusiastic party. Last year, my display (costing over 500$) went off with a blast as more than 380 people, including hundreds more from around the display, gazed at the dozens of shells fired. This year, I plan to not do something to large, but to end the party with a bang. Hope you all stay tuned for the video which will be uploaded on my YouTube channel.

My Canada Day Fireworks Pieces

So this picture above is what I have prepared for Canada Day, a small basic display. Nothing too big, and nothing too small. Just big enough for a holiday. I didn't really feel like blowing $200 on a display. I have alot of things aside from the display to cover and with the economy, it's better to save money rather than spend it all. Watch what info I have on the fireworks here.

Italy Brings Mayhem In A Finale

Just came back from watching Pirotecnica Igual S.R.L. representing Italy. Votes on the leaderboard for audiences marked at 6.4/10 (reference here). What a noisy finale. Very loud, loads of shells. And with F1 in Montreal, Sergio Igual, representing Igual supported the Formula One racing weekend with a bang by entertaining hundreds of thousands of spectators. Watch the finale and see for yourself here.

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.
