This World Record Firework Was So Bright That It Turned Night Into Day

Tim Borden does not seem to want to give up on the idea of a world’s record aerial firework as after his failure in 2019, he has made another attempt and this time succeeded. During the past weekend, he launched his latest creation, a firework that weighs 1.268 kg and claimed the world record he deserves.

His previous attempt was on the 10^th of February 2019 with a firework packing 1.133 kg of pyrotechnic materials. He planned for the shell to explode at the altitude of 1.6 km but instead, it went off inside the mortar.

Borden’s latest attempt was made on the 8^th of February this year on the top of Howelsen Hill, Colorado, the USA. The 157-cm shell was launched by a 7.9-meter custom-made mortar into the air and exploded as planned. The blast was so bright that it temporarily turned the town from nighttime to daytime.

Before Tim Borden broke the world record, the biggest aerial firework was launched in the United Arab Emirates and Dubai. In the UAE, a 1.087 kg shell was launched to celebrate the New Year in 2018.

One must see for their own eyes to grasp the magnitude of this achievement. While a YouTube video has been posted, it fails to show how magnificent the firework was in real life.

The weight of the shell is just 1.3 kg lighter than one Toyota Corolla. So you can imagine the force required to put the shell 1.8 km up in the air.
