Happy 239th! Spectators Brave Tight Security for Fireworks

“It was awesome,” said Joe Cunningham, who traveled from Minneapolis. “It was the benchmark for all else to be measured.”
The 25-minute show featured more than 50,000 shells set off from barges on the river. Thousands packed onto closed-down roadways in Manhattan to watch. Enhanced security included 7,000 officers searching backpacks and purses.
