In a fireworks manufacturing facility in China, an explosion claimed at least 26 lives — workers who arrived that day to produce the lights of celebration and did not return home. The disaster is not an aberration but a recurring chapter in the story of an industry where the distance between written safety standards and lived reality is measured in human lives. It asks an old and unanswered question: how many times must a preventable tragedy repeat itself before prevention becomes the priority?
