Norway sets record for world's tallest bonfire

Residents of the Norwegian town of Alesund built a world record-breaking 155.5 feet tall bonfire for their traditional midsummer festival on June 25.

The massive bonfire took at least 30 people to build. This bonfire broke the previous record set by Slovenia in 2007.
