Arrrr yes,
It's a tragic accident and all pyros here in my country are sadden and blasted by this terrible story.
The man who died is an executive producer. it is not because a cigarette, or a flame, and not because a storage failure... but a chain reaction that caused the accident. Police said yesterday that all the rules for use fireworks were followed.
It's so invidious to die at his job! pffff it's terrible

RIP
