On New Year's Eve 2015, the 28-year-old Yuriy Yaniv from Kiev, Ukraine, set alight an unusual composite firework of his own creation. It comprised 10,000 sparklers bound tightly together in a ceramic pot with cardboard, dirt and kitchen tin foil. In all, it weighed around 50 kg (110 pounds). The firework's ignition create a gigantic tower of sparks covering around 2 m (6.5 ft) in diameter.
Had they been lit individually, the sparklers would have burned for a total of two days.
For safety, Yuriy was ready with two fire extinguishers.
