Watch: The world’s largest ariel firecracker

Diwali marks the celebration of lights, and what’s Diwali without firecrackers. However, this video we are about to present to you is not from a Diwali show or similar occasion. This video is from Japan, Konosu City, Japan and was for a Guinness record (World's largest aerial firework).

The firecracker is the largest in the world, measuring 48-inches (4 feet) in diameter and weighing almost 500 kilos. The firecracker has to be launched (or shot) using a cannon.

The video below has a number of fireworks that are shot into the air. The last one is the 1200mm (48-inch) firework.
