Aug 17: Ever seen?

Yep, have you every seen what it's like to see approx 55,000 fireworks going of in 5 seconds looks, let alone sounds like? Don't ask me... And also, why would someone be mad enough to let of that many in that short a time needs to be, either mad! or trying for a world record!
A man has attempted to set a new world record by launching more than 55,000 fireworks in just five seconds. Roy Lowry wanted to beat the existing record of 39,210 at the National Fireworks Championships in Plymouth.
So you want to see what it's like letting of 55,000 fireworks in 5 secs?
Well It's not an almighty bang, nope, it's 55,000 small ones going of at the same time!
You can see it all here thanks to the BBC. Make sure your sound isn't too high...
