Video: Maryland's Ocean City July 4th Fireworks Cancelled After Sudden Untimely Explosion
20:37 GMT 04.07.2021 (Updated: 17:08 GMT 31.07.2023) Sometimes you just can't wait for a celebration to begin, but nothing is more important than good timing. In the case of a Maryland fireworks show, it did not go particularly well.
A
July 4th fireworks show in Maryland's Ocean City was cancelled due to an accidental unplanned explosion of the celebratory ordnance that took place earlier, scaring locals gathering on a beach.
"Due to an abundance of caution, all firework shows in Ocean City have been canceled", the Ocean City Fire Department said in a statement, noting that the cause of the fireworks discharging hours ahead of schedule remains unknown.
The fireworks exploded prematurely during set-up of the display, but no one was injured as a result of the premature show. Many people, however, were scared, with videos filmed on-site showed crowds watching the out-of-the-blue fireworks blast, and some running away.
According to officials,
the explosion scene was cordoned off, along with areas of the boardwalk, pending the completion of safety inspections.
