My neighbors like them some fireworks, and we've always got some enthusiastic attempts to cause some ruckus around the town on New Years Eve. But holy crap....this is intense.

This video was taken from the highest building in the metro area of Manila in the Philippines. If you put music in the background from a Transformers movie, I'd swear they're being attacked by an interstellar aggressive race, and only Will Smith would be able to save them.

I KNOW fireworks are cool and everything, and this looks INSANE, but can you imagine trying to breathe after all this is done? I've already destroyed my hearing by wearing headphones for a living. I don't need any help doing further damage from  a NYE party.

However. You get me a quality air mask and some in ear hearing protection, I'm there.
