by twistedsifter

 

Watch this amazing fireworks display over the city of Konosu on the island of Honshu, Japan, including the ‘heaviest’ single firework ever launched.

The firework weighed 460 kg (1,014 lbs) and measured 120 cm (4 ft) in diameter, exploding into a ball of light measuring roughly 800 meters (2,625 ft) in diameter. The feat took place on 11 October 2014 and was certified by Guinness World Records.

The entire display is impressive but if you just want to see the ‘big heavy’ launched, skip to 3:15.
