Fireworks feet through city of Beijing... really not real?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:Even if they were fake to a certain extent they caught/created the effect what they wanted and that’s brilliant. Absolutely awesome I think it was :) I can see why it could have been faked, trying to fly a helicopter in those conditions would be dangerous, and even if they flew really high I don’t think a camera on the move could pick up the intense colours (if you watch at how clear and lovely they were) I think the actual fireworks would have been brilliant if you were there, but they had to enhance it for the world. It seems like a sensible thing. But I look forward to finding the complete truth :)
