China Fireworks Explosion

When used irresponsibly, fireworks can spell trouble. A boy in China learned this the hard way when he put firecrackers down a manhole - and immediately blew up the whole sidewalk.

Surveillance footage captured the moment a septic tank exploded and sent sewage flying everywhere. The tank exploded after sparks from fireworks fell into it. Children had been bursting firecrackers closeby. The force of the explosion had residents wondering whether an earthquake had struck.

At least 10 people were killed and seven others injured on Thursday in a powerful explosion at an illegal fireworks plant in central China's Henan Province. The explosion took place in Tongxu County of Kaifeng City, the local work safety authority said.

An elevated portion of highway in central China collapsed on Friday after a truck loaded with fireworks for Lunar New Year celebrations exploded, killing at least nine people and sending vehicles plummeting 30 meters (about 100 feet) to the ground.
