Sparkler Bomb 9,000 sparklers+!!!

Back


Some of my friends and I got the idea to do this in 2005 after discovering how cool lighting 20 something sparklers was. Then we moved to about 250. Very cool with 20ft flame. So last year after the Fourth a bunch of us began buying all the discounted sparklers we could. On Labor day weekend of 2006 we got together to set off the largest sparkler bomb that we knew of. With so many people bringing sparklers it was hard to get a count until we began preparations. As we counted them up we came up with over 9,000! The setup was as follows; for starters we dug a metal 5-gal bucket into the ground and packed it with sparklers. From there we just kept adding more and more on top. Not knowing what this would do we took as many safety precautions as possible; bucket dug into the ground, 10ft fuse, hose on standby, and getting back about 60ft. Wanting to document the event we had four cameras rolling. Two video cameras (one on a tripod and the other hand held) and two digital cameras (also hand held). In the video you hear us say that it lasted 3-5 seconds. Well if you go back and time it it's closer to 10. The flame was 30-35ft, while the plume went much, much higher. We are currently in the planing stages for another one. P.S. I am trying to keep this family friendly. So if you use profanity in your comments I WILL DELETE the comment.
