The nation’s capital was lit up by a record number of fireworks to commemorate the United States’s 250th birthday after several weather-related delays.

President Donald Trump watched over the fireworks, which his Freedom 250 task force said would feature over 850,000 pyrotechnic effects launched from 10 locations from the National Mall to West Potomac Park across 40 minutes. In comparison, the standard fireworks celebration in the capital is 17 minutes long and features around 17,000 to 20,000 fireworks being set off.
