"In Port Huron, Michigan, a 51-year-old man was critically injured when he was struck in the face by a mortar-type firework, the St. Clair County Sheriff's Department said. Officers said the man was placing the firework in a tube when it ignited"

wow!

"a man lost part of his leg when fireworks went off inside his parked sport-utility vehicle, blowing the windows out."

why is there no damn video!!?

Exactly. They fail to mention that the guy in the car was probably lighting a bowl with the firework on his lap ... seed exploded ... end of that story. Guy hit in face with mortar ... drunk with a cigarette in his hand probably. Nothing but operator error.

One of my buddys once held a mortar (with the tube) and it knocked him on hiss ass, it was petty funny. They have quite a bit of "kick" to em. Ha!
