OCRACOKE, N.C. (AP) — Authorities say a fireworks explosion on a North Carolina island only reachable by ferry has killed one worker and critically injured four others.
Hyde County spokeswoman Jamie Tunnell says everyone hurt Saturday worked for a company setting up the annual Independence Day fireworks display on the Ocracoke Island docks.
Authorities say no danger remains, and ferries are running again.

One more died today, bringing it to four total. The fifth sounds to be in much better shape, in fair condition. Another died in a PA accident. Prayers for all their families.

Yeah heard this morning, the fourth one was the girl, the one still alive still had clothes and hair. Was talking to those on the scene and seemed to be very aware of what was happening.
Maybe he will be able to shed light on what caused this disaster
