This is not a fireworks display gone wrong; in fact it worked exactly as intended. But it is also not what an American would expect when they see the term “fireworks display.” I really don’t want to describe it any further, so just watch. It’s not long. The launch was at the Thailand Rocket Festival. -via Metafilter

I like the way it's spun up before the main rockets ignite, to stabilise it.

The spinning fireworks like those are my favorite. I didn't know they came in extra-humongous size as well. I am in awe!
