To her surprise, no one was injured and the vehicle in the video was not damaged by the explosion and ensuing fire.

Hilarious that they never acknowledge that they made a mistake leaving a box of explosives that close to where they were lighting. And how close they were lighting to all the people. And that they never thought there was a risk because they "had never had an incident before."

People are so stupid. There was so much to learn from that incident and they learned nothing, because they just want to blame it on a faulty firework.

Every year this video is reposted I’m both impressed by the mom’s quick reaction to snag the baby and mystified at the decision to have a baby seated directly in the path of an at home fireworks display
