Well plenty. Twenty five people were killed today from exploding firecrackers in northwest China.

Eight trucks filled with 904 boxes of firecrackers scheduled to be destroyed were taken to the Gobi Desert near the city of Turpan. When the workers reached the destination, they started to dump the boxes into a ditch. And that is when the fireworks accidentally exploded. The explosion killed 25 people and five others are still missing. In addition, nine people were injured and two are still in critical condition. The images showed large path of burned mark on sand, a few charred SUVs, and one flipped car. Due to the fear of unexploded firecrackers, firefighters had to work from a distance to control the fire, and it took them an hour.No one knows what caused the accident.
