VIDEO: Colorado Almost Set Off World’s Largest Firework, But It Backfired
This weekend, a Colorado man almost set a record for the world's largest aerial firework, except it blew up (just not like it was supposed to).
Doesn't matter to us, we just like to watch stuff blow up. A man in Steamboat was attempting to set a world record with an aerial firework on Saturday, but all suspense led up to a failed launch when it erupted too early.
*Holds back obvious joke to keep this PG.*
The pyrotechnic expert behind it has previously built record-setting fireworks, according to Fox News, also reporting that 'building the shell used in the failed attempt Saturday took a month of 8-hour workdays.'
Hey, these things happen. Fortunately, his spirit wasn't crushed, telling the Pilot & Today that breaking world records aren't supposed to be easy. Has says he'll try again next year, and we're looking forward to it.
