Before I form an opinion on this incident, I would like to hear the owner's report.

I was waiting for clapping and cheering like at the end of any firework grand finale.

Do you prefer the report written or audible?

Judging from what I've seen on DR, if I had to make a choice between being homeless or working in an Asian firework factory, just forward my mail to under the nearest overpass. I'll be the guy in the blue tarp.

So many people in India, swarming on the rooftops to see the free show. If fireworks or chemicals detonated, there would be lot's o' casualties. Runaway firework conflagrations are like huge sea port storage fertilizer fires, rocket motor fuel factory fires, airshows and blacks, you need to put distance between yourself and them pronto..
