A viral video shows a West Palm Beach man flying a robotic drone through a fireworks display

Ever wonder what it would look like to fly through the sky during a fireworks show?

A West Palm Beach man jerryrigged a camera to the top of a DJI Phantom 2 drone and flew it into the belly of a fireworks display show earlier this year.
