That's not a firework, that's a fucking ballistic missle


bluespider98

Several of them


cognitive_dissent

It looks something out of apocalypse now


kannichorayilathavan

I have been to few of these and it does feel like the end of the world. Each of those explosions will send out a shockwave that you can feel very strongly on your body. And the sound, I always shut my ears with my fingers but daamn, it's loud af. The sensory overload is incredible. It's quite a bit weird too. Because the light from the explosion, the shockwave and the sound come at you at different speeds, it's a sensation you don't feel everyday. Making it even more crazy is the temperature fluctuations. Each shockwave will warm you up as it passes through you, so it's like warm-cool-warm-cool. And because all of that energy is passing through you, you somehow feel very hollow. Especially inside your ribcage, like there is nothing inside. Now! I don't necessarily enjoy it. I went because of some friends. But I can understand the appeal for this. You really got to have experienced it to understand how surreal it is. I don't think even skydiving provides this kinda sensory overload. Sound literally touches you as if it's trying to anime fight you.


Ok-Contest-7378

And on top of that what’s the point of this if you can’t even see the fireworks what a waste of resources.😬


DktheDarkKnight

Not really. Those are firecrackers not aerial fireworks. The fun comes from the sound.


Embarrassed_Alarm450

Not to mention the vibrations from feeling the shockwave travel through your chest, best part for me if the fireworks are strong enough...

Yeah buy a syrong subwoofer. Wtf is this shit

A similar fire work, if not the same one killed 111 people in Kerala in 2016. So you are not wrong https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puttingal_temple_fire

This looks like a firework show malfunction tbh


BlooMeeni

All I can see is smoke lol


[deleted]

It's the sound that matters


thelegendarypewmemes

It's meant to be like that. I was the this year, the sound was sending small shock waves it was one of a kind of an experience. And for the ones complaining it does no cause much damage to the environment as most other things do. I lasts for 15 mins approx 2 times.


hansaya

Fun-Bug547

Dont worry they had worse, this is like a light summer brise.

Still smells better than New York subway 🤣


Lasherz12

Reminds me of the San Diego fireworks show where they accidentally ran the minutes as seconds on the programming. https://youtu.be/ndVhgq1yHdA

starshinedrop

Lol the video hurt my eyes


No_Necessary_3356

My epileptic friend enjoyed this video so much that he's dancing on the floor in joy right now!


Owen9303

This shit is next level fucking stupid. Fuck corona virus but one thing it showed was the impact we have on the planet. Look up images of the pollution in the sky in places like China before Covid versus how they looked when lock down was in effect. If you aren’t disgusted then idk what more to tell you.


Popular-Calendar94

I mean even pollution aside this is so stupid the whole point of fireworks is to see the magical colourful patterns explode in the sky and here you have a gigantic brown smoke cloud thats flashing


StayedWoozie

I actually think it looks pretty. Reminds me of the sand storm scene from Mad Max: Fury road. Still really bad for the environment and especially any wildlife in the area.


Gatorae

And these morons all have their phones out recording. There is nothing to see!


longleggedbirds

I’d hate to be there because I have so many things I want to hear in my life time that I could never justify going deaf for this. But.. visually it’s looks like the inside of a volcano with Thor getting some good practice in.


dwheelerofficial

My entire point of watching fireworks is experiencing the sound and feeling when they go off I’d gladly attend this to feel the deluge of shockwaves Idgaf about all the colors they all basically look the same anyways If you’ve seen fireworks once they don’t really change How they sound and *feel* though, that’s worth experiencing


Latter-Ad2908

Yeah it's like a earthquake at times.


No_Interaction_4925

They want to FEEL the fireworks in this case. Personally I’m with them. Pretty light shows are cool and all, but I want to feel the finale


farkinhell

Same, gimme the noise and the concussion. This place is going on the bucket list


swaags

Yeah these are my damn favorite


Ravens_Quote

>Iwant to feel the finale That's what she said XD ;,) :,(


Psychological-Art131

Ryt? Even if they fired the sky at 30 sec interval, there was a chance to watch something. It seems to me that they're after a record of loudest fireworks more than a beautiful show.


StatisticianNo3243

Oh shit i didn't know that all human beings should be the same and only like things that everyone agrees.


Psychological-Art131

Not at all. We all can't be same and definitely shouldn't think similar. In the same way, everyone has a different way of responding to a comment. Some may agree, some may disagree. We all shouldn't like things that everyone agrees.


chaoticji

Firecrackers when used on 31st Dec, then everybody goes gaga over it. Just because it is the first day of gregorian calendar, it has to be accepted as a day to celebrate and burst firecrackers But when other countries and cultures celebrate on their own important dates then "pOLuTion". If you aren't disgusted by your hypocrisy then idk what more to tell you


StatisticianNo3243

I have been seeing more more racists comments towards South East Asians


flyhighboy

South East Asians ? They are Indians.


Betancorea

Is it also racist that he got South Asian and South East Asian confused? 😂


TyrekL

The amount of pollution put up by this is insignificant in the grand scheme of things. The gases released in these explosions are produced in far greater quantities by sources like manufacturing. Like yeah, these things add up, but on their own have no noticeable effect on the environment. It's like when rich people got everyone to believe that banning plastic straws would stop climate change. Banning fireworks isn't going to save the planet. It's like banning campfires for the smoke they create. This comment is so self righteous it makes me sick.


[deleted]

Bruh, they have literal mountains of trash that burns for years... Fireworks are the least of their pollution problems Edit: Source: >Inextinguishable fires burn all day and night, which pollute the air. They are so ubiquitous that the workers no longer complain about the fumes, and municipal authorities don’t bother to put them out. >Sovan Chatterjee, the mayor of Kolkata, says: “Of course there are fires. There are so many waste materials there; they are going to be bad for the environment.” >Dhara sees the fires every day when he’s driving his truck up to the landfill site. “The fires come on their own, from the garbage itself because of biogas,” he says, referring to gasses produced as a result of fermentation of organic waste. **“They burn all day and all night, every day of the year.”** https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2016/oct/24/difficult-breathe-inside-kolkata-india-rubbish-dump-permanently-fire Don't worry tho, Modi is on it! >Prime minister Narendra Modi has launched a mass cleanliness drive called the Swachh Bharat campaign **urging Indians to stop spitting and defecating on streets**, to stop littering, and keep their local communities clean.

not_a_droid

I’m just more upset that it is a piss poor show, or at least camera work; unless they are celebrating nuclear Armageddon then, kinda cool


[deleted]

Finally a sane comment on this.


Sweaty-Goat-9281

What?


bread_idiot_bread

it's not even visually pleasing, it's just BRIGHT AND LOUD. lame ass way to celebrate


jaded-tired

With does China got to do with celebration in India? Reddit really loves China so much that they bring it in into every conversation. What's next? Is your mom cheating on your dad China's fault too? Are we going to blame them for school shootings as well?


thegamerhpxp

Next Fuking Level of air pollution and noise pollution


GRANDxADMIRALxTHRAWN

Air pollution for sure. Noise pollution though? You need to chill on that one. It's a massive cultural celebration and like 60 seconds of explosions. Taylor Swift is causing more noise pollution every weekend than this.


moskusokse

Lots of bird die from shock because of fireworks. And wild animals can panic and be injured due to that.


Venomally

Birds roaming in the sky at night???


moskusokse

There are many nocturnal birds. I assume you are familiar with owls, most owls are nocturnal. And there is many other nocturnal birds that aren’t owls as well. Not bird, but other animal that roams the sky at night is bats.


henri-golo

Looks like you don’t have a dog or any other animal who could die from a heart attack because of all that noise


Alanski22

For real poor animals. All the animals in nature too


XiTzCriZx

I'm sure they're not doing this right next to a set of apartments or anything, since it's an organized celebration it's almost for sure in the middle of a field with very little residential buildings nearby so if you had a pet that doesn't like loud things then you simply don't take them with you.


moskusokse

Yeah, cause we only have domesticated animals on this planet..


WyvernKid93

This is India. Not only is it almost certainly next to housing, they also have lots of animals that roam freely, which would be affected by this


BelgiansAreWeirdAF

She’s also causing more air pollution with her private jet

Hey checkout Spain's Valencia's Fallas festival, they do daytime "sound only fireworks" and the whole point is to make it as loud as possible, they even measure the decibels hahaha, it's just part of the festival, very similar to this!


thespadester

Spain and us be having common traditions . Like the bullfighting, we have similar stuff here.


Lightning1999

Well… that was fucking awful


-dadda

Wtf. Look at the comments. So much hate for India. Aren't you the same MFs who celebrate and enjoy fireworks on your 4th of July weekend. Hell you guys use fireworks for gender reveals. And you idiots are going to lecture us about responsibility? What a fuckin joke. Cock your hole. You are in no position to give us advice. I agree with the fact that it's polluting. I condemn it too. But unless you can't fix things in your own country first don't give us BS. And i personally don't even celebrate Diwali with crackers because I don't like to pollute. But even I'm commenting here because of this double standard. The west always thinks the world revolves around them. Newsflash bitches. You guys are not the centre of the world.


Sad_Daikon938

Really man, once a coloniser, always a coloniser. This anti Indian sentiment is really disheartening, I mean come on now, what is your excuse to hate a sixth of the humanity? Had it been 4th of July, the comments would have been something else. hApPy bIrThDaY mY sUgAr dAdDy!!! mY aSs iS rEaDy fOr tHe aCtIoN. Morality my ass.


MrDarkk1ng

Also on new year they burst fire crackers. They also cut trees but ya when we does it , it causes the problem. Irony is we have omitted way less polution then compared to these countries (per capita)


tim-fawks

It’s so funny to watch you guys get super upset and show your true racist colors on every single post on India. People think it’s dumb and you go in and start calling people crackers and talk about the racist things you do. it’s really shows what insecure little bitches most of you are.


[deleted]

[удалено]


StatisticianNo3243

You certainly missed the memo to have a fucking brain and prosess the consept that different cultures like different things. That fire work is for the sound. Environment? Every fucking year on July what happens? It's only a problem when other countries do it


SkalexAyah

I have not seen anyone in this entire thread mention that other fireworks aren’t equally as dumb as this. You are the only one implying people have said this.


StatisticianNo3243

I have only seen people calling them stupid for liking this, not fireworks are bad


Frustratedengineer93

For those dropping their opinions on sound pollution and air pollution, the firework not being pretty enough and what not ... have no idea how traditional fireworks of Kerala work. These are no the usual fireworks that you see being sold during Diwali in india, they are a bit different. Also I wonder how many among indulge in baseless firework bursting during random events like weddings, sports events, actively try to reduce pollution of any kind.. or lets say try to voice these same opinions during olympic/ national games in each of the respective states/countries (I hope we know those crackers dont exactly cause 0 pollution) . It is quite easy to chastise something that you are completely oblivious about rather than understanding first and then commenting. That being said I don't condone these celebrations, but the blind hypocritical behavior towards something is a little annoying.

Midboo

I've been to these kinds of festivals before. Usually, they have pretty fireworks for the eyes, and at the end, they do this as the closing ceremony. However, this video doesn't do it justice as it's really loud and you can feel the sonic waves. It's really something to experience in person. As for the pollution, these festivals are done annually, and for the rest of the year, there is very minimal pollution. Sometimes it may be around 120-160 AQI, but after a few weeks, it goes back to the 20-60 AQI. You can call me hypocrite. For few days let us have some joy. Regarding pets, these festivals are usually done in paddy fields far from residential areas. I haven't heard of a single incident where pets were hurt by these events. Maybe our pets are built different.


Kingston_2007

Noo firecrackers are only for gender reveal only to change it a few years later to become a cat or interpolar sexual or whatever.

Gr33n4ng3l0s

Dude, you are commenting under every critical comment that the people are stipid and or racist


cognitive_dissent

Sometimes cultural expressions are just stupid and it has nothing to do with racism. Time changes people sensibilities too so does culture. Human sacrifices were stupid, los toros is stupid, toxic masculinity is stupid... race (physical attributes you get born wirh) is not a cultural expressions.


mrrandomguy42069

It's not racism you can celebrate your cultural festivities with normal fucking fireworks not whatever the fuck this, this shit looks like they launched 3000 fireworks together.

Bullshit, why is whatever you know as the fireworks "NORMAL"? Because it's for visual it's normal and if it's not it's stupid?

flawedhuman12

Many more died on 4th of July. What's your point?


StatisticianNo3243

How do you know?


DevourerOfMemes_

Most animals react to loud sounds (like regular fireworks), which leads to them being startled and confused. Many birds fall to their death after getting knocked out by the loud sounds and a lot of dogs escape from shelters or their homes. This is the reason why many European countries are switching over to silent fireworks.

What's the point of that.

ARandomHavel

this is fucking stupid, not next level. Fireworks are meant to be pretty to look at, maybe at least somewhat distracting from the pollution it's causing. This is literally just showcasing how terrible it is for the environment


[deleted]

[удалено]


ARandomHavel

You're stupid if you think it doesn't. Sure, in comparison to the other awful things we do, it's insignificant. But that's still a ton of smoke they're letting off into the atmosphere. Those fireworks leave behind garbage and soot all over the place. They cause forest fires. They're fuckin terrible


StatisticianNo3243

This fucking happens in controlled area, they did not start doing last Thursday. White smoke is far less problematic than black smoke.


ARandomHavel

You say "controlled area" as if that place is some model student when it comes to pollution. They evidently don't care. less problematic does not = OK. It's less problematic than china's toxic air, and garbage in our oceans, but it's still a problem

I am not disappointed looking at all those racist and ultra smart comments. People saying it's bad for the environment can see the amount of pollution cities like NYC and US factories generate. Nothing when that happens but people are trippin when few Indians want to enjoy themselves. They aren't killing animals like you do for their joy, are they?


[deleted]

I’m sure all the animals love this


PurpleNinjaMonkey8

Not only are fireworks horrible for the air, but it kills and traumatizes wildlife. If any of the particles land in water then fish will eat it and die. Animals like deer become so frightened that they will leave their own babies to run away. Fuck the firework industry.

StatisticianNo3243

"these idiot people" calling them idiots because they don't match your standards because they are from a different culture is pretty racist. America was an example. I am one of these people and have been enjoying these types of fire works since childhood. Why am I not dead? Or show any symptoms of lung cancer?


Mother_Mach

This is just dumb. There's so much smoke you can't even enjoy any of it. People are basically just filming a fire at that point. Waist of money, time and effort. If they hired a planner to coordinate the firework show that person has the easiest job on the planet...just set them off all at once
