Dadri, India
February 27, 2023
The use of firecrackers is a common sight during most celebrations in India. Playing with fire, however, has its own dangers. Recently, CCTV footage from a shop in Uttar Pradesh, which shows a fireworks accident being sparked off, surfaced on Twitter. The incident occurred on Monday, February 27, in Greater Noida's Dadri region during the Jagannath Shobha Yatra. The video shows a vehicle laden with firecrackers catching fire and burning to a crisp. One person lost their life in the accident while another is grievously injured and is admitted in a hospital.
The security camera from a shop opposite the site of the explosion was posted on Twitter. It shows people walking talking near the shop and walking on the road right before a ball of fire hits the e- rickshaw across the road. At least four people were around the vehicle, with two sitting in it. Following the initial explosion, the entire vehicle, reportedly carrying more fireworks, erupts in flames. The loud crackers shoot off, creating bright flashes and a smokescreen. People run helter-skelter and duck their heads to avoid the sparks flying around.
On Monday, the Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (ADCP) Greater Noida said that two people had been injured in the incident and rushed to a nearby hospital. He said that proceedings regarding the accident were underway.
The ADCP further noted that the incident came to pass when the Jagannath Shobha Yatra procession was happening in Dadri. There was a huge crowd, with loud music being played and fireworks being burst.
A later tweet by The Police Commissionerate Gautam Buddha Nagar said that the explosions were sparked off due to a firework from the procession landing on the auto rickshaw, which was also carrying crackers. The rickshaw was moving ahead of the entire procession. Two people, identified as Salman and Sheeshpal, were in the vehicle and were injured in the accident.

Not sure how many, if any, died. You can see a few soldiers getting out of the vehicle at the end. Either way it's a very clear video of a mine blowing up a vehicle.

According to preliminary data of the department, the cause was a gas leak followed by a fire in the car. A 3-year-old child died, a 52-year-old man was seriously injured. The publication, citing eyewitnesses, writes that the explosion occurred when the driver began to warm up the car. He started the engine, put the child in the passenger compartment, closed the door and walked away. During the explosion, the man was thrown back by the shock wave, he hit his head and lost consciousness. Neighboring cars caught fire (these moments were caught on video, they are published by the media and social networks). People who ran up to the car did not know that the child was inside, so they did not try to save it.
