Last night in the Netherlands: Boy (14) dies, another boy (13) loses hand, dozens need eye surgery, more fine particles emitted than all road vehicles do in a year, €118 million blown up instead of put to use, millions of pets in fear, wildlife disturbed. Private fireworks: great tradition.
@Sustainable2050 one dead in Denmark too, probably an illegal firework. And even though it was a shorter than usual window to use fireworks this year (limited to NYE alone), there were plenty of them still being launched this evening...

Politiet leder stadig efter fyrværkeri, der dræbte 24-årig mand

En ung mand er afgået ved døden efter en fyrværkeri-ulykke i nat.

@Ruth_Mottram @Sustainable2050 It's legal 31/12 and 1/1 so it's still legal today (as far as I know).
