So I was at this event at the base of that ski hill. I'm not sure people realize how MASSIVE this firework was to see in person. Words cant really put it into perspective. It was magnificent. Nobody knew it had worked until the sky turned red and everyone lost their minds. The year before, their first attempt, failed. It exploded inside the ground, and actually shook the ground and broke a window, and car alarms were going off all over!!! So much power inside that thing. I still have the newspaper article from the next day pinned in my room.
It truly was awe-inspiring, I don't believe that it holds the record for the biggest actual explosion, I believe the record is for the actual mortar itself but it was an Indescribable experience, unfortunately I don't live there anymore but I'm glad I got to experience the world class firework shows at Winter Carnival every year
Light travels faster than sound, first you will see the light, then you will hear the sound of the explosion. You know, the same than with thunder, light come first.
@@releasethekraken5299 If the sky just turned red out of nowhere, I'd be tweaking. I know sound is much slower so I'd be waiting to get blown away Hiroshima style
@@robertallen6710 Probably because of fire risk during the summer. Not much risk of a forest fire in winter when there is a blanket of snow on the ground.
Using frame-by-frame analysis, I found sound lag of launch to be 7.00 seconds, and the sound lag of shell denotation to be 7.23 seconds. Steamboat springs has an elevation of 2,103 m, giving an air pressure of 101,301 pascals The event also occurs at 7:56 pm in February, so I will assume a temperature of -10 degrees celsius Steamboat Springs Airport had a humidity of 80% on 2/8 Using the speed of sound equation (and the gas law), the calculated speed of sound in the video is close to 325.44 m/s Distance from launch= 7.00 s * 325.44 m/s= 2,278m Distance from shell explosion= 7.23 s * 325.44 m/s= 2,353m More fun facts: The initial speed at launch according to CNN is 300 mph = 134 m/s Mass of the shell= 2,797 pounds= 1272kg The 62 inch shell traveled nearly a mile into the air
It’s ironic how the largest firework in the world is launched here in Colorado because of you set off your typical fireworks you could end up in jail here
My city in Colorado is a $1000 fine and jail for any firework. Even Sparklers. Thats why Wyoming gets all my money. Plus Wyoming gives me a safe place to light what I buy.
As a person who was at the base of the mountain when it blew, I say the footage doesn’t do a good justice on how huge and magnificent the explosion was
Gavin Sloan - a lot of people won’t get that joke, but I do. One night, in one of my first apartments in Chicago, I switched on the kitchen light and thought, hmm, I don’t remember patterned wallpaper in here. And Poof! ....it was gone!🤣. That’s when I got a cat...no problems since.
Gavin Sloan -no, someone gave him to me. It was just a happy coincidence the the cockroaches and (ugh) ugly water bugs disappeared. I don’t think he ate them as much as chased and tortured them, to my delight.
I live to the left of this camera angle around 5 miles away from Howelsen Hill where it got set off and got to sit out back and watch, the shockwave shook my house.
There are no a bombs. Google maps hiroshima nagasaki see the ppl walking around and living after an alleged nuke. 400 year half life they say. They were just fire bombs. Nukes are the boogeyman
*GOOSE Bumps*, just listening again to the live reactions! I'm so unbelievably proud of Jim and his team. What dedication, what a focus, what a sacrifice, what a great combination of artistic skills combined with engineering. Hoping that you can share some of the details that went into these record shells (Al Marjan Island and Steamboat Springs).
Take a good look at the Japanese "Yonchakudama" if you want to see artistic skill and engineering that surpass this. Yes, it was big but not beautiful at all and that is in my opinion the first rule with fireworks. They can keep the title, but I think people rather watch Japanese fireworks. 😉
Thanks for posting this. I was watching the live feed and just as the shell reached its apogee, our internet connection died. Made it seem as if it were a dud. Well done Jim, Eric and the rest of the crew.
Thanks so much for getting such high quality footage of this shell! What an amazing job these builders did! Congrats to the entire crew! Most definitely play this in 1080p HD in full screen mode for maximum enjoyment! I played it in slo mo, too, to see more of the details.
@@eh6971 - if your comment is in relation to the video quality, no. If your comment is in relation to the shell, again no, and I suggest you get over yourself. Or, build one better yourself.
It's just that I expected more from a worldrecord breaking shell. The effect, but also the quality of footage is not that great. But that's my opinion. If you think diffirently, I will respect that.
... and God said there would be light. This record would have deserved a nicer effect, but congratulations and my respect for this project. Fiery Greetings 💥

Using frame-by-frame analysis, I found sound lag of launch to be 7.00 seconds, and the sound lag of shell denotation to be 7.23 seconds.
Steamboat springs has an elevation of 2,103 m, giving an air pressure of 101,301 pascals
The event also occurs at 7:56 pm in February, so I will assume a temperature of -10 degrees celsius
Steamboat Springs Airport had a humidity of 80% on 2/8
Using the speed of sound equation (and the gas law), the calculated speed of sound in the video is close to 325.44 m/s
Distance from launch= 7.00 s * 325.44 m/s= 2,278m
Distance from shell explosion= 7.23 s * 325.44 m/s= 2,353m
More fun facts:
The initial speed at launch according to CNN is 300 mph = 134 m/s
Mass of the shell= 2,797 pounds= 1272kg
The 62 inch shell traveled nearly a mile into the air
