During the unintentional discharge, employees of the fireworks company received minor injuries and refused transport to the hospital by Ocean City Paramedics. No beach or boardwalk patrons were injured.
“Our Fire Marshals are on the scene and will investigate the cause of the unintentional discharge,” said Ocean City Fire Chief Richie Bowers. “Prior to the fireworks being off loaded from the vehicle, Fire Marshals secure a safe zone around the fireworks and put other safety protocols in place. It is this very zone and safety protocols that kept anyone else from being injured,” he concluded. – Ocean City Fire Department said in a statement.
The video captured by one beachgoer shows the dramatic explosion that appears to briefly transform the beach, packed with thousands of tourists, into a warzone.
Dummies left it out in the Hot sun !!! No Wonder !!!
Unintentional my ass that was sabotaged and in more than one location… probably the FBI up to their tricks
I was there and what you don’t see and no one is going to talk about was the guys loading the tubes one was smoking a cigarette and the ash blew into one of the tubes before he dropped in the shell.
It was just and accident. The ash remained burning and the paper shell was loaded and in a minute as they loaded other tubes it ignited that shell.
You had better vids than this…..yet unintentional miscue has received national attention. Not the family friendly attention Rickie would prefer. Next 2 weeks of council meetings should be interesting!
Indeed.
The WOKE did it !!!
Don’t call anything a war zone that isn’t one.☹
Idiots Discharge !!!!
They did not get clearance from the OC Bus Control center on the boardwalk !!!!! LOL LOL LOL
