I've always been a big advocate of leaving fireworks to the professionals. They put on amazing displays compared to what you can do in your backyard and your odds of keeping all 10 fingers increases exponentially. But sometimes, even the pros make mistakes. That's what happened last night at San Diego's Big Bay Boom.
At the Arab Museum of Modern Art in Qatar, Chinese artist Cai Guo-Qiang used microchip-controlled explosives to make amazing patterns in the sky. It’s the coolest (and only) example of daytime fireworks we’ve ever seen.
