No more fireworks on the 4th of July?



More cities are turning to drone and laser shows out of concern that the fireworks could worsen already poor air quality or spark wildfires in drought-stricken areas. ABC News’ Andrea Fujii reports.

  1. If you don't celebrate our independence then you don't belong in the greatest country in the universe! No risk of fires this year since all of the rain everywhere! So what's the excuse this year to not shoot fireworks off? Peoples feelings?? F**k your feelings because NOBODY cares and NOBODY owes you understanding! ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿค”

  2. LASER AND DRONE SHOWS ARE NICE BUT NOT A REPLACEMENT FOR ROCKETS RED GLARE OR BOMBS BURSTING IN AIR

  3. It's not even bad in new york city today

  4. this is crazy people you better have 4th of July holy god that is uncle Sam's birthday

  5. my town in Massachusetts has been doing fireworks for over 15 years (probably over 30!), and i would hate to see it go. To be honest, im on the fireworks side, and not the drone side.

  6. Gay!I It's always people who aren't from the USA who have problems with fireworks. Get out if you have an issue with freedom. If the government can do it, then I can, too. That's the way it works.

  7. Liberals hate Independence Day. Why? We did it once, and we'll do it again.

  8. Juneteenth Fireworks were fine ! Ha-hah. They were noninflammible! Gimmee a break. You want to stop something that's destroying our world? Then stop effing regime changes Washington DC political Assholes are in love with. A Millennium's worth of nightly July'4th fireworks wouldn't equal that !

  9. Wouldnโ€™t feel like the US without fireworks

  10. That's weird they had fireworks for Juneteenth

  11. Why did you go with 2021 and not 2022. Just curious

  12. I don't see any Smoke I live in utah?

  13. Nah Iโ€™ll stick to fireworks

  14. Sick of this woke culture we live in!

  15. Lame ๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿ‘Ž

  16. Are you trying to ban something and saying that thing is bad for the environment because you don't like it and you can't handle it? Please, take this op ed piece down and report real news, not this BS.

  17. Thatโ€™s why we burn in our streets! No fireworks, donโ€™t worry!

  18. All this crap going on in the USA is done on purpose I'm sure I mean this is the most retarded crap I've seen in decades we've celebrated with real fireworks ๐ŸŽ‡๐ŸŽ† for years and years! This drone stuff looks pretty weird to ๐Ÿ™„ I bet one of them will malfunction to and if this comment gets removed that's ok I see how it is cause all this I'm saying is straight facts. I've never in my life seen the US go so down hill like this there is something really really fishy going on and we need to know fast this is not a free country anymore people you want to know something even more fishy half of the cities are going to celebrate with real fireworks! So I mean a lot of this is obviously on purpose. No more July 4th fireworks man with all that money y'all make in New York I'm very surprised they ain't no dang fireworks either you know what I'm done texting I hope y'all read this maybe this will teach some of y'all a lesson that a lot of this bull crap is pretty much set up as y'all can pretty much see already and the fireworks don't have the same amount of smoke compared to the Canadian fires done on purpose either. Have a great rest of your life ๐Ÿงฌ if you seen this comment ๐Ÿ‘‹
