Pretty damn amazing. I dare say it's the best fireworks display I've ever watched. I like how they had them coming out of Big Ben, and the wheel was pretty cool too. This had to be ultra expensive. When I was a kid in Seattle, a local AM radio station (KJR) celebrated their 50th anniversary by doing a 5 hour show, timed to the music they were broadcasting and representing the changes to the programming up to that point in time. I always thought that was pretty intense, and not likely to be topped. But that was like 1969. The technology in fireworks has advanced so much since then. I was really struck by the lack of smoke. I mean, I know there was a lot, but if the show I talked about had been as intense as this one, you wouldn't have been able to see it for the smoke. Cool stuff Kaz, thanks for sharing it.

Not sure about that display but a lot of the modern displays use compressed air to propel the charges into the air
