People seem to think fireworks are safe, its gunpowder the precursor to all explosives and ammunition.

When building the NY City Aqueduct which went from upstate to the NY city the were lots of accident with explosives.

A common cause of death, blown to the atoms. Sadly, its was usually recent immigrants the met this fate.

We won't know what went wrong until they can stabilize the scene and talk with the survivors.
