The second view shows size contrast, with a forest underneath it
@ 55 second mark.

The following NYE, a new record was made in the UAE.

Last year, the Americans attempted to break it, but failed as it flowerpot.

What is the criteria? Based on the videos posted I've seen better fireworks at my local fair.

Size & weight.
58" diameter & 2797 pounds.
Also, the break spans a mile wide.
This would encapsulate the local fairgrounds 2 times over.
When observing the right videos, the point of reference are evergreen trees; a forest.
Underneath the break, for perspective, you'd have to envision a man or animal walking through the snow, and whether you could even see them with the naked eye.

I call it "biggocity".

Contrast perhaps a NASA explosion, then imagine it eclipses the explosion in size, which is something considering it's a civilian effort.
