    I think it's wonderful!! No pollution or health risks. No fires!!! No noise pollution!!
  • The noises disturbs us veterans BUT the new change is better and more soothing
  • @rilly1347
    Oh give me a break!!! Nobody ever seemed to be worried about this before. 🙄
  • @XXXDomtacion
    Uh ok? Is this gonna be another urban legend where they protest on not making fireworks anymore just like converting from gas to electric?
  • @PastorJC
    RIDICULOUS. The controlled explosions remind us of the words in the Star-Spangled Banner....

    I love the grandma that she love firework I love fireworks
  • @1974dormouse
    This report makes me want to use old fashion fireworks even more
  • @Veladem
    No thanks, I'll have my fun throwing mortars off* bridges, thanks though Also note; Most of y'all are willing to give up fireworks, which is once a year, for your health. Bet you won't give up McDonald's, Chipotle, coffee, chocolate, phones and PC's, your vehicles and boba tea . . .
  • This looks cool but still don’t hold a candle to fireworks but they did a really good job and it was cool and would still be fun to watch.
  • @noreply65
    I am still liking fireworks 🎆. I know that this technology is nice, but fireworks are also a lot of creativity. Also, for one day of fireworks I don't believe in severe respiratory problems.
  • @JasonSellers1979
    Nope, just adding an awesome new element to the already awesome fireworks show
  • @monkey2drummer
    Has everybody forgotten the meaning of fireworks on the 4th of July? I don't recall drones winning the revolutionary war.
  • @jayski9410
    I can't help but imagine what air combat will look like once this kind of technology makes it's way into fighter aircraft. It's like having several dozen wing-men all communicating and coordinating their movements (and presumably their weapons) simultaneously. And if both sides have access to the technology, it will be the mother of all dog fights.
  • @PyroManiacs
    Drones are not replacing fireworks displays, they are just adding another element.
  • @dakotawoofer6660
    i dont care what people say, fireworks will be the best thing ever, drones will never be good and never replace fireworks
  • As a combat Veteran, i HATE fireworks, they bring back truly Horrific memories, and Never should be used for Veterans Hollidays. If you people wish to experience war, that can be acomodated without disturbing my peace.

    Alright look at all that lithium ion floating through air...
