Record-Breaking Firework Attempt Coming To Steamboat Springs
The mortar weighs seven tons and will be buried 26 feet underground on top of Emerald Mountain overlooking town.
STEAMBOAT SPRINGS, Colo. (CBS4) – A team of firework fanatics are trying to break a world record for the largest fireworks shell ever. The Winter Carnival celebration will happen this weekend in Steamboat Springs. This isn’t the group’s first attempt. In 2019, the launch resulted in a premature explosion of the firework within underground. The fountain of fireworks shooting from the surface could be seen for miles. Organizers made some changes to their plan this year. They say they feel really well about their chances at breaking that world record.
“I’m just a fan of fireworks and to end up having my name achieving the world record of the largest firework is a personal goal,” Tim Borden told CBS4.
