Dubai"s New Year"s Eve fireworks display breaks record

You know that when Dubai gets involved in something it’s going to be a big deal.  Not only did Dubai’s New Year’s Eve 2014 firework display put everyone else’s to shame – it also landed them in the record books; it’s believed that 500,000 pyrotechnics were set off from 400 different locations along 60 miles of coastline.  Beat that Boris!

I had thought that London had clinched it until I saw this stupendous display.  Only matched in awesomeness (yes, it’s a word) by Beijing’s Olympic opening ceremony in 2008 – I was convinced for several weeks after that we had been duped with some CGI tricks.


 







 


Check out PING’s Top Ten of this year’s best NYE displays from around the world.  To be fair you probably should have watched these before the Dubai ones because they look quite limp in comparison…
