250 ans de l’indépendance des États-Unis : un feu d’artifice provoque un incendie sur le pont de Brooklyn

An fire broke out on the Brooklyn Bridge in New York on July 4th during a fireworks display celebrating the 250th anniversary of American independence. The incident occurred approximately twenty minutes after the start of the show and was attributed to a malfunction during the firing of the fireworks. Firefighters quickly responded to control the flames, which produced significant smoke. The fireworks event featured over 85,000 fireworks in 30 different colors and had been moved earlier due to weather conditions. Celebrations across the East Coast were disrupted by severe thunderstorms, including an evacuation of the National Mall in Washington, although President Donald Trump still delivered his speech.
