Fireworks

With Independence Day rapidly approaching, the sale of fireworks are shooting up -- perhaps a pun intended -- and making the days of those all across the country more pleasurable. Well, not everyone...

The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco lit up the night sky this Sunday with an eye-catching fireworks display in celebration of its 75th anniversary. Not only that, but live bands, plus a lot of food and dance made this the place to be for Memorial Day weekend.

At the Arab Museum of Modern Art in Qatar, Chinese artist Cai Guo-Qiang used microchip-controlled explosives to make amazing patterns in the sky. It's the coolest (and only) example of daytime fireworks we've ever seen.

The fireworks display at the annual Bonfire Night event in Oban, Scotland was supposed to last for 20 minutes. Instead, a technical glitch caused all the fireworks to go off at once in what may be the most spectacular mistake ever.

These crazy chemists create a fire-breathing demon spawn by mixing potassium nitrate, iron oxide and icing sugar inside of a doll's head. Halloween is right around the corner.

We all know what an exploding firework looks like in the air, but have you ever wondered the firework sees while it's up there? Dallas-based videographer Jeremiah Warren found out when he mounted an 808 HD keychain camera to a series of fireworks and recorded their short but dizzying journey through the sky.
