According to the Associated Press, a series of major explosions occurred in a residential area in northwest Honolulu, Hawaii, ahead of midnight on January 1, 2025.
The released drone video shows a large amount of firecrackers exploding into the air in the middle of a dark night residential area.Three women around
were killed and more than 20 seriously injured in the accident, Honolulu city authorities say.
Local police believe that a bundle of firecrackers parked on the ground collapsed and other boxes of firecrackers exploded one after another.
Hawaii authorities seized more than 100,000 kilograms of firecrackers last year to prevent illegal fireworks, but local media pointed out that it did not have much effect.
The Honolulu Fire Department reported 30 fires related to fireworks at the end of the year, up 30% from last year's New Year celebrations.
