Big Ben Bang: Video of London 2011 New Year fireworks over Thames

[crimsoncoin]

funny though, the column is cracked under the front face, and could fall into the road..! seriously theres a big 'Y' shaped crack under the bell housing* on the outside, if omens are your thing, thats one. I wonder if the fireworks caused it..? England is not as modern as they say, ever with the collective BS on TV

[wilsonmandudebro]

i love how ppl will get shit faced over the stupidest shit like new years ahahaha wow

[spekkie21]

England sure knows how to make a big bang... Very nice!!

[maximusmagnanimus100]

Big Ben is the nickname for the great bell of the clock at the north end of the Palace of Westminster in London,[1] and is generally extended to refer to the clock or the clock tower as well. This extension is technically incorrect, but its usage is now entirely commonplace.[2] It is the largest four-faced chiming clock and the third-tallest free-standing clock tower in the world.[3] It celebrated its 150th anniversary in May 2009,[4] during which celebratory events took place.

[fashioncouturex]

Times Square was so much better and entertaining. This was gay. Proud to be American ;D <3

[belagiorgo]

LONDON ZIONIST capital city

[darwincity]

WAH! What a performance! Top of the pops in Europe, neatly next to Tokyo and Rio (New York was much less glitzy this year)!

[monkeybike]

It wouldnt be New Year without the 12 chimes from Big Ben. :)

When the Muslims light up Big Ben, it will be both explosive and memorable.

[Lakilester00]

@HardcoreHalalHader so you saying that we're going to blow up Big Ben, eh? The only place that we're going to blow up is your head!

[HardcoreHalalHader]

Big Ben will not be allowed to ring under Sharia law.

[pidgeblev]

@HardcoreHalalHader God Save the Queen. British till i die and no one will take our freedom

[pidgeblev]

No where compares to London on New Year.

[BioReach123]

Nice.

[kesean2390]

[kesean2390]

[pidgeblev]

@kesean2390 Of Course he does! Every hour on the hour. Big Ben is the most accurate clock and the most recognised landmark in the world. I love Big Ben (can u tell) lol

[MrPenguinPerson]

I'm really not saying I don't like Westminster but how could you sleep with that bell? All I could hear from our Waterloo hotel was a giant dong or several dongs every quarter of an hour. It would drive me nuts! Aahhhh

[pennyf9]

@MrPenguinPerson if you live in London for a long time, you will get used to it.

[MrPenguinPerson]

Nice!

[hahahaha65496]

[sapphireinblue]

[Shippoyasha]

Makes me wish they do something like this for the Statue of Liberty. The last time they did that was to celebrate its centennials.

[allemaalboetes]

This was my fourth year in London during new years. London is simply THE BEST place to be during new years!

[playboibunny33]

thats cool.

[Cookiechan3321]

bahahhaaa i wish i could have been therrreeeee~

[sockschappercat]

I was on tower bridge, just got the occasional explosion through a building :(

[Phantomofthe333]

Does anybody here know the song name that begin almost at the end of this video?

[Konartwist]

@Phantomofthe333

clubfoot ?

[Phantomofthe333]

@Konartwist yes thank you so much

[oOPaintboyOo]

The London fireworks being uploaded by RussiaToday ...? hmmm

[Ameli5]

I was there it was amazing

[tip145]

SYDNEYS NOT EVEN YOUR CAPTIAL YOU TARDS YOU COULDNT HAVE I TIN YOUR CAPTITAL BECAUSE ITS A FUCKING DUMP PLUS YOU USED KESHA LADY GAGA AND JUSTIN BEIBER IN YOUR SOUNDTRACK NICE MUSIC TASTE :}

[NguyenReps]

@tip145 Im sorry if you guys are into more classical music, ROFL it looked like Big Ben was vomiting out fireworks.

[NguyenReps]

@tip145 LOL, actually the video you we're watching was broadcasted on a tv channel which added the music. It wasn't being played out in the city. Big Ben looked like he was vomiting out fireworks

[PoloGordon]

@NguyenReps WRONG!! They had the speakers where we were watching, which was Waterloo Bridge (woah way too much w aliteration in a sentence). The music was actually on for about 2 hours before the display, and we were dancing along to the full set on the bridge. Many people there were tourists who came to London specifically for this, oh and for the sales too. All in all, a success for our economy!

[NguyenReps]

@PoloGordon Dude, i was talking about Australia's broadcast of OUR fireworks in SYDNEY not the broadcast of the London fireworks, dude learn to read.

[PoloGordon]

@NguyenReps I guess that proves that London's was the best then

[NguyenReps]

@PoloGordon Dude do you even know what we're talking about? we were talking about how the tv channel that broadcasted the fireworks added in Justin Bieber, Katy Perry Music and etc. WE werent talking about whose is better, learn to read before you reply.

[PoloGordon]

@NguyenReps Right, you're news channels added shitty music that's got bugger all to do with Australia to make it all seem interesting to the viewers back home. While we had a party with quality British music, and our show actually lasted beyond this RT clips duration. Yours wasn't even better than Dubai's

[PoloGordon]

@NguyenReps WRONG!! They had the speakers where we were watching, which was Waterloo Bridge (woah way too much w aliteration in a sentence). The music was actually on for about 2 hours before the display, and we were dancing along to the full set on the bridge. Many people there were tourists who came to London specifically for this, oh and for the sales too. All in all, a success for our economy!

[0neiLy]

@tip145 Please, shut the fuck up you idiot. When people say Australia, they think of the Harbour Bridge, the Opera House, the beaches. Where is that located? In Sydney. They held the fireworks in Sydney to promote the city you fucking down syndrome idiot. Also, Justin Bieber was used during the 9pm Fireworks for the kids who go to sleep early. So please, sit the fuck down if you don't know what you are talking about.

[tip145]

@0neiLy WHY WOULD THEY PROMOTE SOMEWHERE THAT EVERBODY ALREADY KNOWS ABOUT EITHER THERE IS FUCK ALL ELSE IN AUSTRAILIA OR THEY CBA CLEANING UP THE SHITHOLE ALSO YOUVE JUST PROVEN MY POINT REFERING TO JUSTIN FAGGOT ASS BEIBERS CONTRIBUTION TO YOUR DISPLAY I SUPPOSE YOU ALSO LOVE THE KESHA AND LADY GAGA THEY PLAYED? IM ALSO ON THE CRAPPER BECAUSE THE AUSTRALIAN FIREWORKS SUCKED SO MUCH AS I GOT CHOLERA :}

[frankieuk11]

@0neiLy God its really got to you hasn't it, maybe next year you'll do better, which i doubt :).

[NguyenReps]

LOL, Sydney was heaps better. All London did was spam fireworks everywhere... You cant really call it a celebration if it isn't planned properly.

[Moh4wkHead]

@NguyenReps LOL, upsidedown people!

[frankieuk11]

@NguyenReps haha poor thing, our fireworks actually went with the music! and the timing was perfect, better look next year.... poor thing.

[rsliltwig1]

...there goes our tax lol....it was worth it :)

[GhostWhisperer900]

makes me proud to be british ;D <3

[foof811]

@GhostWhisperer900 Too bad you're gonna be broke in the next 5 years.

[andrewthebestes]

Its funny how the first few seconds of the video are from last year, but the rest is from this year.

[LordDohBoy]

Well this is good for global warming and our economy.

[igglepiggle07]

@LordDohBoy stop being such a moany shite

[LordDohBoy]

@igglepiggle07 umad cos i spit the truth???

[igglepiggle07]

@LordDohBoy no, simply because you are a moany shite

[LordDohBoy]

@igglepiggle07 why u mad tho

[british123able]

if only our troops were given this kind of firepower in afghanistan

[n8merrie187]

I was there !!!!!

[ILOVETHEWORLD2MUCH]

They'll need a nuclear explosion next year to top this performance.

[drgisbest1000]

the entire display was 9:50 (minutes)

[MrWhak]

21 people have pets that shat all over the house in on new years eve.

[Dommorick]

@MrWhak Lol.. what?

[mixindave1]

new year is fucking shit. xmas eve, xmas and boxing day is better

[g0dl0vesm3i]

This aint the whole thing?

[SirMeh]

@g0dl0vesm3i Nope, the entire display was much longer than this video.

[WAATANG]

Good to watch this sober :) thanks

[16ISMYNUMBER]

@WAATANG Wicked

[TheCoolbodyboy]

[lpspgameplay]

[16ISMYNUMBER]

@lpspgameplay I pressed thumz down cuz I watched it on TV

[VVWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW]

@lpspgameplay lol i use my eyes to see everything

[mrevilevil2]

That was the best part. Instead of playing overrated Justin Bieber or Lady Gaga songs, they MOSTLY played songs produced in Britain.

[GohanDaBest]

russiatoday huh?

[LozzaaXD]

I would say sydneys was the best but they played Justin beiber Nuff said

[modhvadiya101]

all bout landan babay

[selenademimileyfanz]

i was there it was amazing the firework were there for like 20 whole min

[donoirfoo]

MOTHER NATURE JUST PISSED HER PANTSUIT!

[4funky1]

Sydney is better than London! Why would you want to stay out in the freezing cold and watch fireworks when you can do it in the nice warm summer weather!

[mystro997]

@4funky1, No one here is going to fly to the bottom of the globe just to see some damn fireworks in a mediocre city when they can watch a great show in a Historical, World Class City like LONDON!!

[4funky1]

@mystro997 Thats funny! Because we get lots of tourists from UK doing exactly what you said no one want to do!

[MadmanJoE100]

@4funky1 its not cold to us you mug

[stews001]

This isn't actually the full video, watch the entire display. Amazing.

[JAMamation]

VIVA LONDON!

[cagatay2144]

wow that was awful sydney's one is the best so far

[LewiswattTV]

@cagatay2144 the sound of jealousy

[millard27]

@cagatay2144

"Location Aus"

You mad alrgiht. Accept it colony, London was best.

[Homzy09]

@cagatay2144

Haha i love Australian bias. At least they didn't use Justin Bieber... that ruined an already average fireworks display.

[Mrtoaser]

How much do you think it would of cost to be in the london eye!

[UphyXx]

@Mrtoaser Your eyes (youd go blind lol)

[Mrtoaser]

@UphyXx  Good point!

[XSweetLightsX]

Kasabian! Yes! :DDD

[Mar10eleven]

What is the name of this track?!! I hear it all the time on Sky Sports. It's totally awesome. If someone knows please tell meee! ^^

[Lucario47]

dont you think they should of played "fireworks" by katy perry?
