The New Guinness Record for Largest Aerial Firework

There’s a new Guinness World Record for the Largest Aerial Firework, and the video has gone viral.  It weighed over a ton and was launched into the air Saturday night at the Steamboat Springs Winter Carnival in Colorado.

Here are the specs:  It was a 62-inch, 2,797-pound firework shell, and it was shot 2,200 feet into the air.  It beat the previous record of 2,397 pounds that was set in the United Arab Emirates in 2018.
