Editors Note: Congratulations to everyone who pulled off this event! From the Fireworks manufatures, to the people who figured out how to even ignite 850,000 fireworks in a coherent manner, to the AMAZING Staff of Freedom 250 who planned all of this celebration, to the Secret Services and Security Forces from All Branches of Law Enforcement who kept the original crowd of 350,000 safe, to the AMAZING Military Bands and Singers, to the Patriotic American Citizens who waited for over three hours for the rain to stop and then came back over 150,000 strong to witness this incredible historic event! We thank you all!

This is an excellent first person view of the fireworks that captures the scale of the historic fireworks display!
This German tourist came for the FIFA World Cup and somehow ended up here, and honestly, he is still speechless.

I have seen fireworks all over the world over the years, but nothing comes close to this.

The concussions stacked to one continual rumble.
The explosions stacked to continual fire in the sky.
The flashes stacked to replicate daylight.
Unforgettable. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/Ti3VfHzRTL
