Likely someone smoking. Gotta learn alot on that first shift I guess.

All accidents are tragic. It’s going to be tough for their parents.

One has to wonder just what country those ‘fireworks’ were intended for.

[lee martell]

My sympathies to the family of those tres hermanos.
Right now, I’m not thinking about who was here legally.
That’s just a terrible way to go, period.
But if you work at that kind of facility, one that produces thousands of small explosives, that is what some call a calculated risk.

Dupont at the delaware plant way long time ago, built berms behind the houses of the managers facing the powder factory.

Authorities are still investigating the cause of the blast.

that will be informative if determined.

[Jarvis Law 2.0]

I read that this area is zoned for Agriculture, and no permit was issued for this “warehouse” in the middle of farm country. Rabbit hole time for these deaths and what was really going on there...

[ansel12]

Northern California and all hispanic, I wonder what the factory employment, local population, and modern hiring practices are?

[Bon of Babble]

So sorry to read about this and how terrible for the families.

I live in wildfire country and idiots around here were setting off professional grade roman candles and other fireworks.

My city switched to a drone show over firework this year. The fire danger is too high...

[montag813]

Dude looked like a lady

I worked an indoor fireworks store this last 2 weeks. Turns out we had an expired fire extinguisher at that time

We figured that expired or not... if a fire were to occur; we’d run like hell as fast and as far away as we could.

[Mathews]

I hate hearing stories like this. That poor mama... three sons all at once? Dang. The little girl is probably scared chitless right now.

sad for the CA explosion and all who died, but I remember hearing of Hercules in ‘89.

MUCH more informative article:

and, btw, local LEO corruption leaks out between almost every line ...

[OldHarbor]

There was an explosion in Ocracoke ,North Carolina a few years back, killed four. No Mexicans in this one. Suspect electronic igniters improperly inserted into charges was the cause .

One year later, Ocracoke remembers the horrific fireworks explosion that killed four people

[9YearLurker]

Terrible. Note to self, there will always be some other kind of work I could do instead of this.
