Fireworks displays are amazing to me. How on earth do they do that? Smilie faces, flowers, waterfalls of light flowing through the night sky, and all of those colors. Not only how do they do that, but who does that?
Engineers? Mathematicians? Who? They have to be incredibly skilled. Besides the fact that it's all incredibly beautiful, it's also timed to perfection. The explosions are in perfect time to the music.
There are stories every year about idiots in their backyards who get hurt with their fireworks. Those backyard displays aren't complicated and they last for 5 or 10 minutes. The professional displays last for 30 minutes or more and are at least as complicated as your average ballet. When was the last time you heard about one of the pros getting hurt?
Another question, how long does it take to plan something like that? It's fascinating to me. How it signifies all that the 4th is supposed to signify is beyond me, but I'll take it!
Happy 4th!
