Fireworks Explosion Leaves 5 Dead in Hawaii

Five men were killed in a bunker holding seized fireworks at the Waikele Business Center in Hawaii at 9:00 A.M. on Friday. All six plus an additional worker were in process of destroying the fireworks when the explosion occured according to reports from KITV:

"Three men in their 20s and one man in his 50s were killed in the blast. A fifth man, age 25, was taken to a local hospital's burn center with burns to 100 percent of his body. He died at around 6:00pm Friday. The sixth worker, who suffered minor injuries, refused treatment. Two of the bodies were recovered from the scene by the Honolulu Bomb Squad, which used a robotic device to search the bunker. Officials planned to send the robot back into the bunker at 10:00am local time Saturday because the bunker was still too dangerous for people to search."
