She grabbed that baby so fast.

And then sat around waiting for the next awful thing to happen

Nothing else was happening until the stockpile lit up, at which point she booked it. Seems reasonable to me.

Literally everything about this is bad fireworks handling, but did they literally buy the $1000 King Kong Krate of fireworks? I never saw so many in a private setting (outside of the Netherlands, the Dutch are in another universe with their fireworks)

They absolutely deserved this. Complete lack of concern for safety. Poor kids.

I mean, looks to me like they lit a mortar shell without the launch tube? Next level idiocy if so.

They're going to have fun with that insurance claim.

I'm gonna be the contrarian here: the stray firework definitely set off the rest of the fireworks, but it didn't necessarily set the car on fire. In fact, I bet the video stopped when it did because once the smoke cleared you'd see the car still intact.

Selfish ass in the grey shirt leaving the kid to fend for himself. Hoping that's not his dad.

What car?

We found the one good argument for a ring camera.

Their insurance adjuster is going to love this cataloging of their damages. Lol
