Early yesterday morning, a fireworks factory near Granada, Colombia apparently exploded, blowing up five separate warehouses used to store gunpowder. If you've ever needed a reason not to play with fireworks—this is it.

According to Time, there has only been one person reported slightly injured, which is unbelievably lucky considering the sheer scale of this kind of explosion. We're not sure what caused the initial spark yet, but will update as soon as we do. In the mean time, holy shit. [Time]
