It's amazing any of the 2000 people there survived.

This video shows some serious shock and awe.

Just imagine a few years from now after a Hillary election and the border remains wide open and there are factories like this all across the southern US.

And more than likely banrolled by ISIS.

During the mid-90’s i was standing on the beach in Falmouth, MA when just 30 seconds into the firework show the barge exploded.
It was something else, the whole load of fireworks shooting all over the place.
Besides the long afterglow the show was shorter than originally planned but was pretty amazing looking just the sdame.
The workers got hurt, they jumped in the water after some bad burns.
Everybody survived.

In 1985, I was on sales calls in Cushing, Oklahoma and heard this hellacious explosion.

Sheriff, OHP and Firetrucks from surrounding towns began passing through Cushing and I wondered what was going, so I followed a firetruck, which lead me to Hallet, some 30 miles away, by road.

Devastating scene. It looked like a massive bombing campaign was waged on the area.

I had called on the owner weeks before to see if our services would be of benefit.

Very sad. I don’t recall how many people died but, my company and some friends donated monies to a fund setup for the victims and their families.

Amazing scene and I thought “This is what war looks like”.

Now, 30 years later, my Masonic lodge sponsored three brothers, who had been severely burned in a fireworks explosion in Mexico, to be cared for by the Shriners hospital in Sacramento, CA.

There were aged 10-14 at the time of their injuries and one of their brothers had his wedding in our lodge.

They looked great and came to one our Stated Meeting Dinners to express their gratitude.

The Shriners paid for their operations, care and housing of thier families while they were put back together, as much as was possible.

I will pray for these families and maybe a few of our hospitals will take some of the victims in for whatever their needs are.

I’ve always wondered why mexicans have such a thing for fireworks. I grew up in Kansas and the only time we had fireworks was on July 4. I moved to Texas in the late 60s and the mexicans here fire them off at every opportunity. Christmas, New Years, weddings, birthdays. Strange.
