Wow. Just saw on TV something about working in a fireworks place. Satic Elec was one of the things mentioned. Nothing like that can come in contact with the fireworks or just what happened here would happen. Didn't see the whole show, was doing something else but it was talking about that very same thing. How ironic and sad. Prayers for all of them.
