1,000-Pound Firework Sets World Record
At a festival in Konosu City, Japan, attendees watched a rocket weighing 1,014 pounds and measuring nearly four feet in circumference explode into the night sky. This whole fireworks display is impressive, but if you're looking for the big bang, it comes at around 3:15.

Four feet diameter surely, not circumference.

Or "Japanese firework shells range in size from smaller ones to the world record holding Yonshakudama shells which are 1.2 meter in diameter and weigh several hundred kilograms."

This is one of many traditional "hanabi matsuri" (firework festivals) where cities and especially city precincts compete against each other on the biggest and most beautiful shows. There's a lot more than just the fireworks going on, and every event is absolutely stunning.
I've never been able to appreciate any firework shows outside of Japan since I went to several of these while living in Tokyo for 2 years. The most amazing part is that these shows last for one or two HOURS each, and with the spectacular shapes and patterns in the fireworks, it certainly puts all other fireworks to shame.
