In this paper we present CCD observations between February 14–20, 1994 and analysis of the giant twisted filament evolved in the active region NOAA 7671. The dynamic eruption of the filament was accompanied by a major flare (3B/M4), CME, long duration type II, IV radio bursts, great microwave bursts, a long duration soft X-ray burst, SIDs, strong geomagnetic storms and a very energetic proton flare. We analysed and estimated the twist, length, volume, mass and energy associated with filament system between February 14 and 20, 1994. The present study shows that the magnetic energy required for the solar flare came from the filament system associated with the solar flare and associated phenomena.
