Watch: New Zealand ushers in 2017 with fireworks display

Auckland (New Zealand), Dec 31 (ANI): New Zealanders celebrated the New Year with a fireworks display that erupted from Auckland's 328-meter tall Sky Tower on New Year eve. Thousands of residents and visitors lined the waterfront to watch brightly coloured fireworks and laser lighting erupting into the night sky over the city's harbor. 500 kilograms of fireworks were used in the display, which took five months of planning.
