@elonakarafin: Fireworks were launched from the Empire State Building only TWO times in history. Once during the pandemic and again in 2021 (pictured here). Who would’ve thought that this regular kid from NYC would be launching the 4th of July fireworks from the top of the Empire State Building 🥺 It was such an honor to be part of this once in a lifetime opportunity. I am so proud to be a New Yorker 🗽 Happy 4th of July! #july4th #4thofjuly #empirestatebuilding #ny #🇺🇸
