Which is the most spectacular event that you have seen ?

This is a good post and how I wish to pen down something really spectacular to add to the thought! I have lived the life of the frog, that frog who lived in the well and his world is limited to that only! Having said this, I remember my school days when we used display some terrific acrobatic skills or some aerobics sequences with most perfect precision and finesse. It was a spectacular site and i can never outgrow that. Then, I remember once attending the annual function of my niece who was merely 4 year old then. She gave some outstanding performance together with a bunch of little angels. I guess, that would be the most spectacular event I saw live! I have been part of many rock concerts but none I found appealing. I thought those added to the sound pollution more than anything else. Fireworks on New year's Day in Sydney or NY city or even the recent Olympics - all are flawlessly spectacular but then those are just a televised version that I got to watch! Never the same, I guess.

My most spectacular event has been watching the shuttle lift off from the Cape in Florida. I was fortunate enough to witness several lift offs when I lived there. It was also one of the saddest events too as I watched the Challenger lift off that resulted in disaster for us.

I will never forget the christmas party presentation where my nine-year old son, together with many other children smaller and bigger than him, interpreted a song entitled "we are the reason" by our local artist Gary Valenciano. They wore white gloves and in black light, they formed figures and letters using the song as the background. it was a very spectacular presentation, they received not just applauses but standing ovation!!! i'm soproud my child was a part of it.

Many years ago I remember having seen synchronised swimming by Russian swimmers in Delhi. They were all women and they would dance to the tune of songs in the water. It was an awesome experience, because I had not witness such a spectular show till that time. I am not sure, if synchronised swimming has become common now a days. The high point was that the swimmer, who were synchorinising swimming/diving with dancing also danced on the tunes of some bollywood songs.

I will n0t forget the spectacular opening day of the beijing olympics was the best event ive ever seen. From the start up to the end of the show it was all well planned. It was very mem0rabld for me.
