Bonfire Night, probably. Used to be bonfires lighted all over the country, now it seems to be fireworks.

no it was always fireworks as well. I remember as a kid we were allowed to buy them for about a month before bonfire night. we’d make an effigy of guy fawkes and haul it around town asking folks for a “penny for the guy”. the proceeds would be used to by fireworks with. this was in the 70s. I don’t know if it’s still done

Are they sure that the victims were not watching the fireworks
and texting about it while driving.
