Welcome to one of the most insane Alaskan traditions - the Glacier View Car Launch - an annual Independence Day event held in Glacier View, Alaska - where junk cars, buses, and RVs are sent flying off a 300-foot cliff. Hosted at Mile 99 off Glenn Highway, the celebration features dozens of empty vehicles sent full-throttle over the edge. They adopted this tradition because Alaska has a state-wide ban on fireworks, and this is a way for the community to gather and celebrate the holiday with a bang. After the carnage, the attendees clean all the debris and shrapnel to preserve the local environment.
