Fireworks Fiasco Leaves Kenner Man with 'Massive Injuries' As the boom of fireworks sounds off around New Orleans, a reminder comes in from Kenner that it's best to leave the explosions to Rocco. Late Tuesday night, a 19-year-old man had his hand "blown apart" and suffered "massive injuries" after a sparkler bomb exploded in his hands, according to a news release from Kenner police.
About 11:52 p.m. Tuesday, the man, whose name was not immediately available, was lighting the sparkler bomb - which featured 144 sparklers wrapped together with duct tape - with friends in the 2700 block of Sharon Street. As is customary, one of the sparklers was set aside to use as a fuse, so as to delay the explosion. However, he attempted to remove the fuse just before the fireworks went off, but they exploded in his hands.
In addition to the injuries to his right hand, the man sustained burns to the right hand, as well as both arms and legs. The explosion also left three vehicles with broken windshields, and destroyed the center cap of one of the car's tires.
In Kenner, it is illegal to "have, keep, store, use, manufacture, or transport any pyrotechnics," according to police. In Orleans Parish, it is illegal to "purchase, sell, or explode fireworks," NOFD Chief Charles Parent said Tuesday. |
