A staggering amount of €105 million worth of fireworks is set off in the Netherlands tonight alone.
This figure does not include the illegal fireworks trade.
The legal sale of fireworks is booming, and the annual fireworks spectacle ends in an awesome display at midnight.
However, tragedy struck a family with three children when their father was killed while setting off a homemade fireworks bomb yesterday.
The 36-year-old man was a victim of his own recklessness.
It is baffling that people continue to play with fireworks despite the dangers they pose.
In my hometown it was illegal to use fireworks, but when I visited Florida or some places in Asia it was totally legal. I guess I like when things are legal but when stupid behavior is discouraged. I just hope people can learn from others recklessness. I often see idiots on social media put firecrackers in their butt or on their chest...... I can't say I feel sorry for them when they hurt themselves, although I do not wish anyone harm.
oh my goodness 🤭, I am still wondering why some people embrace this fireworks 🎆 Tradition despite the risk involved. It's only a pity

You are right about it.
The sounds of freedom... *eagle screech
