London Fireworks 2012

A place to be entertained. Videos, jokes, games, and more.
Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.

Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

I was a little creeped out when I saw the fireworks coming out of the clock tower. That is the most insane fireworks show I've ever seen.

I do love the way the Eye was used as a launch platform. The chases around it were particularly effective.
And it is concerning that they wee launching from BigBen. The dust from the fireworks is very corrosive in the concentrations that are found at launch sites. I would Hope they rinse down all the stonework well, before the dust can damage the mortar holding the tower together !

I think it's kinda kick-ass. Nothing will beat the Eiffel tower in 2000,(or 2001) though. :cool:
