Some US Cities Are Using Fireworks Over Drones This July Fourth

Say goodbye to those Fourth of July drone formations. The technology may be dazzling but lots of people are demanding the return of old-fashioned fireworks that light up the night sky. The Macy's extravaganza firework show is expected to draw millions of spectators in person and on TV. The show will include 60,000 shells set off from five barges along a mile-long stretch of the Hudson River. Drones will also be incorporated in the show along with fireworks.

I can understand why some people don't like fireworks. Verterans who suffer from PTSD, people who have Autism and can't stand loud noises, also it scares pets and wildlife. I don't mind the drones; I love the creativity. But It's only once a year. Wearing a pair of noise suppressers doesn't hurt.
