Thanks for sharing the news report on this. It looks like a very tragic event. It will be interesting to hear the follow details on this event. People that work in the explosive industry always keep these things in the back of their mind.

Well I lived in hawaii.. Hilo hawaii. there are huge amounts of people that demand fireworks. its part of the culture there. Some of the locals there have shown up many typical town displays. But in hawaii aerials are illegal.. The asian influence demands that new years and chinese new years have fireworks. they love great fireworks. its actually is easier in the islands to get professional cakes and shells then consumer. the shells are a dime a dozen.. literally if your in hawaii just ask around. i have a hard time thinking the they were storing seized fireworks... they were probably hiding them. another firework season is coming:) oh yeah:)
