Firework Funeral

Eight people are dead after a truck carrying fireworks exploded in China.  The explosion caused a 260 foot long chunk of bridge to collapse.  At the current time the total is eight dead, and thirteen injured. According to authorities at least twenty-five cars may have driven off the edge of the collapsed bridge and fallen one-hundred feet to the ground below. 

The Chinese have a long tradition of using fireworks during celebrations, I believe that safety may be lacking in current times.   Compared to the United States safety regulations, China is lacking majorly and this may be a contributing factor to the explosion. http://www.cnn.com/2013/02/01/world/asia/china-bridge-collapse/index.html?hpt=hp_bn2
