Brings back memories of Enschede. Let's hope it doesn't end up as disastrous.
Di Giacomo.. pretty sure I have heard that name before; If it's the same one, they mostly deal with salutes and so forth, which are the most lethal of all fireworks out there; Especially when you start moving up in sizes. I hope they all made it out OK.
Why is this on Facepunch already while here in Italy I haven't yet heard it on the news on TV here?

Studio Aperto, for once, is too busy with summer beach specials.

I think you got the wrong thread here, this is about a firework factory explosion, not about the train accident in Spain.
Unless there was also a firework factory accident in Eschede, but all I remember was a derailed ICE buried under a bridge
with whole compartments squeezed down to 30cm which made it near to impossible to identify dozens of victims.

Studio Aperto is too busy talking about that Royal Baby.

Whoops.
Well... I look quite dumb now.

It was just because there was this firework disaster in Italy and the train disaster in Spain.
Like Eschede and Enschede...
