Fireworks are illegal in Fargo.
These particular “fireworks” had a warning to call the U.S. Govt if found.
Seems to me the friend who is still alive and did not immediately call the police after seeing these unusual fireworks is culpable in this tragedy, morally if not legally.
Darwin awards all around. Just thank God no kids were in the way.
This one sounds a bit worse than a local incident a couple years ago. Two of our finest citizens decided to celebrate July 4 by firing a parachute flare stolen from the Army.
It landed on the roof of a factory, igniting a fire that burned for three days, doing $50 million damage, but at least no one was killed.
