Idk this seems like more than a firecracker ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yuN4xirvhHY.html. Also Beirut, but thats not quite fireworks if i remember correctly
Have to say that the Japanese kne was better and way more clean than the #1 Malta one. Both were about the same size and extremely cool. Giant 48" shell filled with dozens of smaller shells. Really a work of art and all made by hand.
I think #1 takes the top spot with how it filled up the night sky. But tbh, I think #2 has better light and longevity, although the spread looked smaller or more compact compared to #1
So at PGI 2023 one of the two builders of the actual worlds largest aerial shell was teaching a fireworks building class and all he said on price was well into the 6 figure range. It also costs $15,000 just to get Guinness world records to show up and they had to do it twice because the first one was a dud. There's a documentary and I think unless you know people it's the only way to see it. Over 17,000 lbs with a special grade black powder+black powder for the lift charge, each star was the size of small pineapple, and they had to dig 27ish feet into the mountains of Colorado to act as a launch tube with a mile fallout zone and it ended up reaching about a half mile in height
The No. 1 biggest single Shell firework in the world is that of the St Catherine fireworks factory in zurrieq Malta for its patron Saint s feast of St Catherine
