CHICAGO — Yup, it got pretty loud in the city over the holiday weekend.

Fireworks (they are illegal in Ilinois, you know, despite Krazy Kaplans' incredible deals) exploded in neighborhoods across Chicago.

Just how widespread was the boom-boom?

One passenger (Timelapse Kid) videographed the city from a jet over O'Hare Airport over the long weekend, capturing flashes from fireworks from across the city.

"So amazing," one woman aboard the jet can be heard saying. "Awesome."
