darn....what time was it? i didn't see. 
usually i can see the fireworks, as i live on the 23rd floor and
it's facing the direction where they always fire the fireworks, so
we're able to watch the fireworks from my house every year and
every practice. in fact last time the helicopter (with the flags)
used to fly very close to my house too, and we were also able to
see the fighter planes from a distance, as well as the
parachuters.
too bad both the helicopters and the fighter jets changed their
routes.
