You have to imagine the enormous dimension of fireworks capable of dyeing the entire sky of a city with an intense bright red. This is what happened at Steamboat Springs in Colorado, in the United States , where just a few days ago the world's largest fireworks have been launched. So much that they have already managed to enter the Guinness Book of Records.

The specific scenario has been the Steamboat ski resort , a pleasant winter resort on which up to 1,270 kilograms of artifice have exploded in the air at no less than 671 meters. The excuse to take the world record was the Winter Carnival of the season.

Previous records

The party is celebrated with all the imaginable pageantry every year. And this time much more, since the observers of the Guinness Book of Records were present at the launch. Not surprisingly, Tim Bordem, director of the fireworks team, already tried to beat the record last winter, but it couldn't be.

The projectile exploded inside the mortar without taking off. A winter storm prevented launching the projectile on that occasion. This year, however, Bordem achieved his feat, which could be contemplated by all the people.

Thus, Colorado moves from the podium of the most monumental pyrotechnics game on the planet to those launched on the island of Al Marjan, in Ras Al Khaimah ( Arab Emirates ), whose total weight was 1,087 kilos, 183 grams less than that of the American city It happened on New Year's Eve of 2019. The previous Guinness Record on the matter took place at the Kounosu fireworks festival in Saitama, Japan . Exact date: October 11, 2014.
