60 hospitalized after Japanese fireworks festival blast
At least 60 people, including small children, were taken to hospital after a propane tank exploded in a food stall before the start of a major fireworks festival in the city of Fukuchiyama in Japan’s Kyoto Prefecture. The blast reportedly caused two women in their 40s to suffer severe burns over their entire bodies. The event was cancelled immediately by the organizers, with police looking into the reasons for the accident. The festival in Fukuchiyama, which was slated to display about 6,000 fireworks over a 90-minute period, every year draws thousands of tourists from all across Japan.
