Definitely not a good idea. Firework safety is no joke. The video in the article doesn't start until after the main explosion already happened, but here's one that happened in China a few years back. I definitely wouldn't want to be anywhere nearby when something like that happens.

While I was in Italy, in the early eighties, at least one fireworks factory exploded each year.
Horrendous events.

Workplace safety in Italy still sucks a lot.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

It just took me several minutes to remember that "fireworks" in Italian is "fuochi d'artificio"
Where's translate.google.com, when I need it?
Oh.
It's at translate.google.com

First day of the year is usually a war bulletin of the dead and injured from the fireworks, especially in Naples. And workplace security is never taken seriously, even after dramatic incidents.

This is like the 3rd or 4th time this has happened to the very same market. You'd think they would learn at least one lesson from the previous occurrences.

It's human nature: people who want to make their share of the fireworks money will crowd in until there's no room to move -- if they don't, they miss out, and the other guys get a that much bigger share.
Changing that requires governmental interference.

Those who needed to learn are no longer of this earth. They're replaced by others who should be learning but are incapable and demonstrate that they unable to learn. I think the ones who do learn, stop going there.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

One of the signs of "Independence of Texas" are fireworks stands each yearend strung all over. There are no zoning laws - hence these stands can be set anywhere "in the hood".
There are many PERMANENT buildings selling this stuff all year long.
In our neighborhood there are THREE of them - practically on corners of busy shopping areas.
I wonder if anybody was ever nominated for Darwin award while celebrating with fireworks.
Have a great "holy days" and stay safe .

Got an e-Christmas card in my inbox. Here is the first line, exactly as it appeared (no editing or redactions):
On behalf of all of us here at the [agencyname], we wanted to take a moment to say "Thank You and Happy Holidays!"
At least, it made me laugh.

Well, I'm sure [agencyname] is a very reputable agency, they certainly have an eye for detail.

Ah, I see you have the machine that goes ping. This is my favorite. You see we lease it back from the company we sold it to and that way it comes under the monthly current budget and not the capital account.
