KICKASS! but i guess the odds of one hitting someone is quite large if theres that many. 

A tripod would've made that video 45,000 x better.
Spend all that money of fireworks and then record it with your cam-phone? o_0 

I was wondering how many of them hit eachother... you would think with that many going off they would be hitting eachother. The ending was sweet except for the freaking dopey guy laughing... 

Looks like how my ass felt after eating a fistfull of scotch bonnets 

ugh.... have these people ever heard of a camera tripod? Or even just a block or table to set the camera on?

If you're going to film something cool, do it right. 

who cares about filming it? They don't care if we see it. I wish I was there to see it though.

Seriously. I mean, if you're going to that sort of trouble and expense, get a decent camera (or several), put it on a tripod, and don't have the guy running the camera also be the guy setting it off. :P

Still pretty impressive. I wonder how long it took the fire dept. to get there? 

hmm... I only counted 44,998. 

has anyone else tried a sparkler bomb? i.e. lighting thousands of sparklers off at one time? my brother&friends did it and suposedly it was a huge torch shooting about 30 feet up into the air. 

There are plenty of YouTube sparkler bomb videos. All I have to say is don't ever light a big one under a tree, no matter how high the branches are. They will still catch on fire. 

hehehehe it took forever to get to the huge flames with static! OMFG HAHAHA THAT LAUGH AT THE END = MY FRIEND CHRIS HAHAHAHAHA LROFLFAWROFL great post. happy 4th pplz!(soon) 

Am I the only one bored by this video? It loses its spark (pun) about 3 seconds into the video. *esplodes* 

I thought that was pretty damn cool. 

That was possibly the coolest thing I have ever seen. MAD PROPS GUYS! I wish they would have show the whole set up before hand. 

Great show, so many bottel rockets!

Is that how forest fires are started?

I will take that video over your puns ANY day. 

I think the popcorn's done. 

i remember those rockets from when i went to america. you could get 144 of the fuckers for $2.50. the best thing to do is get a handful and snap the sticks off, light them and just throw them. they go everywhere - and are aptly named nigger chasers. i even smuggled some on the plane home! ah, the joys of being 16, pre-9/11 

Man i want to see the aftermath....i bet there were little red sticks all over the place...

Farking awesome.

Celebrate the independence of your country by blowing up a small part of it! 

Waaaaaoooooooo!!

I counted you as being the second person to make that joke. 

These seem to be done by a few friends, just for the hell of it. But, has anyone else sat down and figured how much 45,000 bottle rockets would of freaking cost?? Cheapest I've found was about $37.50 per 25gross (3600rockets). That'd be $468.75 gone in a couple minutes.

Wish I made enough to watch $500 blow up in front of me, and laugh about it. LOL 

they probably all chipped in to do it, and charged admission.

with refreshment and souvenir sales i'll bet they made a tidy profit. 

What would be cooler is to have those in the back of a pick up truck driving down a street. 

Hmm.. I think the coolest thing to do would be flying a few R/C planes through it...

"We're getting some heavy AA fire, up here!" 

I expect more from the Internet.
I want to see the goatse guy shoot 45000 bottle rockets out of his ass.

That was fucking sweet. 

That was SO freaking much cooler with Alice In Chains - Rooster playing in the background. 

Next time, some new math:

40,000 bottle rockets
+1 shiny new camera tripod
-1 annoying laugh guy 

Now, still waiting on someone to explain the mechanics of wiring 45,000 bottle rockets together with stuff you can legally buy....Always been interested in how that works.

Nope other person said 44,998. Mine was totally different. 

bottle rockets...check, lighter...check, video camera...check, camera man that attended the school of fine arts filmography division to run video camera...crap! i knew we forgot something! not all videos are crystal clear and smooth. that's why they call it a home video. by the way that was pretty awesome, that was alot of bottle rockets, wonder how that was in person..

I stand corrected. 

45,000 sticks of TNT, then ill be impressed 

Cheapest I've found was about $37.50 per 25gross (3600rockets).

Where the hell did you find that??? I'd buy fireworks, if I could get that price.

Wish I made enough to watch $500 blow up in front of me, and laugh about it.

If a bunch of people chipped in it wouldn't be so bad. I say break the record and go for 100,000. Anyone? 

That'd be fucking awesome revoleader. 100 000 would be insane. 

How about 100,000 whistling petes? 

I was just at the firework shop and a roll of 1000 was about $15.

shop around some indian reservations, they dont need permits, and alot of people have what looks like a garage sale, but instead its all fireworks.

wait until a day or two after the fourth, and offer to buy up most of their remaining stock, i once got a big box of the 3/4 inch colored exploding rockets for roughly 8 per dollar 

That guy has mored YouTube vids, including a daytime one where they're loading the rack:

That'd be fucking awesome revoleader. 100 000 would be insane.

You see, to me the problem lies in organising the ignition system - it boils down to timing - I mean i could sit there myself and light 100,000 rockets one after the other -

I guess the closer they all are to going off together = the cooler. 

WHO'S GONNA CLEAN UP THAT MESS??!?!
