Epic fireworks display


Earlier this year Dubai celebrated the opening of the Atlantis resort at Palm Jumeriah in typical Dubai fashion, by shattering a few world records. In this case, for the largest fireworks display ever in human history. Over 1 million fireworks were launched in just 8 minutes... ten times the amount used in the entire 3 hour opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics. The display was reportedly visible from space, and based on the video below, I can believe it... Fireworks were launched from the entire 27-mile length of the palm island. The 'grand finale' of this display is beyond words. The finale was reported to be the loudest non-nuclear manmade explosive noise ever... but the crowd seemed to have enjoyed it. Watch and enjoy:
