En Tultepec, México —ciudad cuya identidad está tejida con la pólvora y la luz de los fuegos artificiales— una fábrica fue borrada del mapa por dos explosiones sucesivas el 26 de agosto. El edificio desapareció en cuestión de segundos, convertido en escombros y en un espectáculo pirotécnico que nadie había planeado. Que no hubiera víctimas es casi un milagro, un recordatorio de que entre el oficio cotidiano y la catástrofe a veces solo media un instante.

Consumers may face temporary fireworks shortages and price increases in Mexico during peak seasons (holidays, celebrations). Impact is localized and seasonal, affecting primarily Mexican consumers during festive periods.
