Fireworks from a different perspective

In the late 90s, I found myself flying home on the night of July 4^th. It was incredible seeing so many fireworks shows from high above—everywhere I looked, there were tiny multicolored explosions. It was an incredible experience to see over a hundred fireworks shows, live, on one night.

Even more impressive is this video (Fireworks filmed with a drone) [1] (link via Instapundit [2]) of a fireworks show, filmed alongside exploding fireworks! I'm very surprised that the drone survived such an ordeal.

From my friend Jeff Koecher, that video was shot in West Palm Beach, Florida [3], about 30 miles north of Chez Boca.
