Just imagine how many dogs were traumatized from this and how many are sitting in Humane Society right now from fleeing.
Who can afford this amount of fireworks these days? Holy hell…I spent $250 and it wasn’t much of anything…this is about a million dollars worth or more of fireworks…
You had one job with that title, and that’s where you put it?! 🤦♂️
My word! How surprising that only two souls were blown to smithereens? Whatever drunk Uncle Grandpa decided that this was the ultimate way out…were they yeeted out of the building during the deadly explosion?
Oh the humanity!
and now with this deadly incident, you WATCH….our home insurance WILL eventually JACK UP SUDDENLY just because…………………………..

This is stupid, Dangerous and irresponsible.
Bad enough this is amateur hour fireworks but no audio for 80% of the video!? Wth!? 💥👮
A few years ago, our friends had bought one of those battery-style fireworks for the first time, which cause a lot of them to go off, one right after the other, even though you only ignite the "battery" once. Due to a manufacturing defect, some of them shot out sideways instead of upward. If someone had been standing in the wrong place at the wrong time, they would have been hit. So we were all standing there, watching this thing malfunction and yet there was no way to stop it because the battery is designed to just shoot out fireworks one right after the other. So it just kept going off and shooting those things out sideways. It was very scary. Needless, to say, we (and our friends) will NEVER buy battery-style fireworks because of that incident. And in truth, we only buy "volcanoes" now because they are small and confined and don't make much noise. I guess it's all too easy to forget sometimes how dangerous fireworks really are. 🙁
was anyone injured?
It is time to abandon the myth that fireworks at this level is a cultural activity.
Stupid banner!
If the state did not ban consumer fireworks, people would not make illegal fireworks. Obviously, they are being lit, why not sell them and make tax money and make sure they are regulated and not overpowered?
That title of the video just covered the whole video
Quit calling it an accident! An expensive cache of professional fireworks were illegally stored in a carport, and an untrained person set off one and it went Boom, straight in the middle of the rest of them.
Ridiculous video with the banner covering up the content
Getting illegal fireworks is like getting illegal firearms or drugs, if you want them bad enough you’ll find a way.
Aloha hugs 🤗 you banner Ticker blocks so much of thr video
WTF!? I'm really starting to question intelligence of the people on this whole island.
