The residents of two neighboring residences in the city of Park, in the United States, did not expect to live such a nightmare.

They were engaged in a “competition” of fireworks, says Shawn Manders, witnessed the accident closely.

“We are doing a kind of competition to see who might do it the strongest,” he said in an interview with WXMI.

Around 11:00 p.m., the neighborhood heard loud explosions towards one of the houses.

In front of the residence, ten people were injured by the explosion of the fireworks. One of the victims, a woman, succumbed to her injuries.

Met the day following the tragedy, Shawn Manders is still shaken by the scene he saw.

«[Des voisins] were doing CPR to the lady, and a lot of other people were lying on the floor. It was really horrible,” he recalled.

The police are investigating the circumstances of the tragedy.
