The skies over Steamboat Springs, Colorado, erupted in red as the world's largest firework launched Saturday night at the city's annual winter carnival. The firework shell weighed almost 2,800 pounds, about the weight of a Toyota Corolla, and was 62 inches -- a little more than five feet -- in diameter. A shell was fired from a 26-foot steel tube buried in Emerald Mountain by a team at Steamboat Fireworks.
