A firework shell weighing 2,200 pounds and having a diameter of 56 inches was launched in the United Arab Emirates on New Year’s Eve to welcome the new year by setting a new Guinness World Record.
The firework shell was manufactured in the United States by Grucci Fireworks and was shipped overseas where it underwent final assembly. Then it was sealed and loaded into a 15,000 pound, 23-foot long mortar cannon buried 13 feet into the ground. You can see the video of the shell being launched and reaching a height of 2,200 feet before showering Al Marjan island with sparks.`
