But instead of rockets shooting to the skies, the event was over in about six seconds

That is going to be a hard record to beat... on purpose.

It should be entered into to the book as the largest firework display in under ten seconds.

110,000 all at once has to be a record, no?

World record Fail
Firework show WIN!

Other way around. They were trying for the most fireworks set off in the least amount of time. They made it, 114,000 fireworks in six seconds. They didn't care that it wasn't much of a show, although the huge crowd wasn't too happy.

In my case, at least, thinking about Barney Frank would not delay the moment so much as destroy it. Possibly forever.
