Drone shows expand as safe alternatives to fireworks
In Hawaii, July Fourth was again marked by illegal aerial fireworks that sent smoke and explosions thundering through isle neighborhoods and resulted in the state’s second fireworks-related death of 2023.
Glen John Nakata, 20, of Kailua-Kona, suffered fatal injuries Tuesday when the fireworks “launcher” he was holding over his head went off. On Jan. 4, Kenneth Meyers, 28, of Wahiawa, died after being struck in the face by fireworks on New Year’s Eve.
