Statue of Liberty drone show

Before the epic New York City fireworks, spectators were treated to a drone show. Here's what it looked like over the East River.

NEW YORK - Thousands of people flocked to the streets and shorelines of New York City on Tuesday to watch the annual fireworks show celebrating Independence Day. 

The 47th Annual Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks dazzled with an average of 2,400 shells and effects firing off each minute, with a total of 60,000 shells blasting off from barges spanning a mile across the East River, FOX 5 NY reported.

This year’s show also included some amazing new effects. Before the fireworks got underway, drones took the form of a number of designs, from the American flag to the Statue of Liberty.

Footage by Twitter user @NamelyNorm and Christina Marie Riddick captured that part of the show.

"Rarely is my old jaded NYC [self] wowed by anything but this Statue of Liberty live tonight! [Macy’s] ya done good!" @NamelyNorm tweeted of the experience.
