Fireworks Injure 37

In Des Moines Iowa a firework show went terribly wrong when a fireball was sent down a street filled with spectators. Most of the injuries treated were minor and officials are still not sure what went wrong. Those in charge of the show say that 13 racks of fireworks were involved in the incident; they misfired and ended up shooting off horizontally.

Crowd members said it looked like the fireworks were heading straight for them and one woman even said she thought she was about to die.
