A fireworks boat in Japan caught on fire, prompting onsite workers to jump into the sea. Rescue efforts are underway and investigation is ongoing to determine the cause and extent of the accident.

Fireworks are an essential part of cultural festivals in Japan. Fireworks production and display are regulated by strict safety measures to protect the workers and the public. Any accident associated with it raises serious concerns about safety enforcement, despite the laws in place.

In the US and EU, similar incidents can lead to serious legal implications. Ignoring safety protocols and putting workers' lives at risk is taken very seriously. There would likely be thorough investigations, potentially leading to legal actions against the responsible party.
