Tim Borden is one happy guy this morning. He’s the Colorado man behind the NEW Guinness World Record for the World’s Largest Firework at 2,797 pounds!

You could imagine Borden had some nerves as he tried to do this in 2019, but it didn’t work. I guess he just needed a new decade for luck 🙂
The previous world record was set in the United Arab Emirates on January 1, 2018. That shell was 2,397 pounds.

Borden did note that they worked closely with everyone “to ensure that our firework posed absolutely no danger to people, wildlife or structures in the area.”
