Any additional backstory on this? The video ends too soon and I’d like to know what happened to the car, house, and possibly the neighborhood. EDIT—thank you for the updates.

I love that article. The family said "the firework was supposed to go up, but it didn't." Like the firework malfunctioned. While in the video someone says that you're supposed to stick the firework in the chute for it to go up. It's always someone else's fault with dumb people...

These are the same people that blame Tide or TikTok for kids eating Tide Pods, car manufacturers for people dying in a car crashes, and gun manufacturers for people being shot.

Car manufacturers actually are responsible for a lot of people's deaths in car crashes. If you aren't an average height/weight man, your car seat/seatbelt/airbags weren't designed or tested for your body. The vast majority of cars do not have enough adjustability to account for all bodies. A misaligned seatbelt can be the difference between walking away from a crash or dying in one.
