Check out Dubai’s insane, record-setting New Year’s Eve fireworks show

2013 ended with a bang in Dubai — not a metaphoric one , but a very veridical one , as the wealthy city ushered in the fresh twelvemonth by launching over 500,000 fireworks . The six - minute extravaganza set the world record for the biggest fireworks display , fit in to Guinness , jubilate over the previous record holder by , oh , about 420,000 .

The above picture is of Dubai ’s full event , which take some lovely singing and natural spring shows , amidst some recollective respite of the great unwashed standing around ; the fireworks start ay 28:35 ( literally and metaphorically ) .
