A sensible idea, except that it
didn't work.
It sounds like everyone involved (except Dominique and the other victims) had something to answer for:
- The supplier had to give a copy of the regulations to the guy purchasing the fireworks.
- The guy purchasing the fireworks had other fireworks in his kit that he wasn't licensed to use.
- Everyone else pipes up and agrees that licensing criteria are too lax.
You can have all the licenses and restrictions you want. If you give them to unqualified operators, then it's all for naught.
