A violent explosion in a fireworks factory , Firework, caused the death of a worker in Roccarainola, in the Neapolitan area.
A very powerful explosion, which was felt in a very large area, fortunately the factory is located in an isolated area, in the Gargani area.
A tall column of smoke rose from the site of the explosion, visible for miles, and the carabinieri and firefighters rushed to the spot, finding the lifeless body of a 51-year-old man who worked for Firework .
He was the only worker at work this morning in the laboratory where pyrotechnic substances are mixed, which has practically crumbled. The images from above give the idea of an apocalyptic scenario : charred trees, the silhouette of the structure and a crater where the explosion occurred.
The Fireworks is organized on several structures: a central body with offices and then many small structures scattered along the hill where the fireworks are actually worked. A separation necessary to prevent the explosion of one chain from damaging all the others.
«A very strong explosion - says the mayor of Roccarainola Giuseppe Russo -, many poured into the street coming out of the houses terrified. And sadly we mourn a victim. Fortunately, as required by law, the factory is located on a hill, in an area far and isolated from the town. Nonetheless , the scare was enormous, also in light of the precedent of many years ago which concerned the same factory ».
