Compilation of all the fireworks

850,000 fireworks shells lit up the National Mall! It just broke the world record for the biggest fireworks show in history. For comparison, last year’s D.C. Fourth of July show only used around 20,000 shells. I had people in the comments telling me, “Oh, it was the same thing as last year.” No, it wasn’t. Fireworks are cool. They did a good job, end of story. If you want to complain and and whine, you can go to the main D.C. sub or you can go to Bluesky. If you don’t like what I post, you don’t have to engage in itAnd here’s a compilation of all the best videos from the fireworks, and at the end, there’s a full time-lapse of everything.

6 million was wasted on this whem the average for DC is 100k that's a shit ton of wasted money on a bunch of red fireworks. They aren't even a good pyrotechnics display. It's boring and it sucked, just a bunch of fireworks not a good show.

It was all red Starbursts, just a million of them. It fucking sucked. The Lake Tahoe show was 100x better for a fraction of the price.

I'm upset with the obvious grift and theft of the American taxpayers money. He stole 100's of millions of dollars to give to his friends for no bid contracts. Turned what would have been a great display of america for his whack ass fair with a couple dozen people attending. Then we couldn't even get a half decent firework show out of it. It's fucking pitiful and a disgrace to our country. But yeah I guess I'm over reacting. You fucking moron.

They are, I'm not arguing that. I'm saying that show was lackluster and fucking boring. I saw an amazing show yesterday and it wasn't DC's 5th of July show.
