I'm going to just assume that fireworks are constantly happening in Peru. It's more magical that way.

That was pretty awesome, but I have yet to see a NYE/Fireworks video that can top Berlin 2015.

Very cool. At about 25 seconds in there is a firework that goes off and when it does all of the street lights in a couple block radius turn off. I wonder what caused...the timing seems too perfect to be a coincidence.

The Wild South. Up in Canada and the U.S. we have laws about this kind of thing.

So I've had a not-great day and that was so beautiful I kind of cried? Yeah.

I just really like fireworks, okay?

I was sad to read that he added the firework noises after the fact.

Yeah, you can't fly a drone within 9 kilometres of any airport! Harsh, but fair.

A favourite of mine, drone filmed in HD, actually in the fireworks! Also classical music ftw.

I'd assume they were light sensitive. I recall streetlights coming on during a solar eclipse.

Very cool video. I liked it better and it looks more real after 4:10, with just the added fireworks sound.

The linked video looked very much like my view of the 4th of July this past year, from up in this tree.
