Instead of fireworks in the sky to mark the Fourth of July, in Alaska, there’s flying cars.
Thousands of Alaskans celebrated July 4th with their signature car launch , where more than a dozen automobiles are thrown off a cliff on a remote hillside.
The eclectic event, held in Glacier View, AK, in Matanuska-Susitna, in the south central part of the state, marked its 20th anniversary this year.
It welcomed the largest crowd in its history to watch the empty vehicles, from police cruisers to buses, go airborne and tumble down the steep hill, according to Alaska’s News Source .
Fans from around the world traveled as much as thousands of miles to witness the debauchery, and Last Frontier TV also live streamed the event for those who couldn’t make it in person.
“It’s, to me, probably the most quintessentially American way I can think of to celebrate the 4th of July,” a man who traveled there from Florida told the outlet.
