Sky Ladder
Chinese artist Cai Guo-Qiang fourth and final attempt to complete the sky ladder performance happened successfully above Huiyu Island Harbour, Quanzhou, China. A huge white balloon filled with 6,200 cubic meters of helium carried the 500-meter long ladder coated completely with quick burning fuses and gold fireworks which were ignighted when the correct height was reached. Guo-Qiang had attempted the same perfomance in Bath (1994), Shanghai (2001), and in Los Angeles (2012).
