Above is a video shot earlier this year and uploaded today to YouTube of an incredible fireworks display accidentally going off all at once. In the video, all of the fireworks go off accidentally at once, resulting in a vibrant, explosive display. According to the Reddit user Bartjay who posted the video, nobody was killed, however a few spectators were struck by shrapnel, with one having a visible gash on his arm. According to the Reddit user Bartjay, many Italian fireworks are lit with an open fuse, not electrical, meaning every individual firework has to be lit by hand. Check out the video above for the fireworks display.
