I -used- to love fireworks, but over the years it dawned on me the huge negative impacts that they have have (pollution, terrifying wildlife and pets, etc) and I'm now unable to see them as much other than an extravagant, arrogant, complete waste.
While I'm aware that there are a lot of eco-costs involved in building drones, it's nice to see alternatives to fireworks - that are at the very least are reusable.
There are many reports coming out that this was faked. People who were there posting videos of waiting for the show, and then nothing happening. I believe it as some of the animations look a bit too fast or precise to be done by real drones.
The only thing I can find is a Reddit post saying it's fake. Got something substantial instead?
Given the Chinese previously broke the record 2 years ago with 1300 and Intel broke it again just recently with over 2000 why exactly do you think it's fake?
I thought about doing this about ten years ago when our town decided to discontinue fireworks shows due to fire risk. At the time it would have been too expensive to attempt. It’s really neat to finally see this happen.
