While I appreciate the quick response from political leaders, I wish we saw more preventive measures before such tragedies occur. Firecracker units are known to be dangerous - regular inspections could save lives.

The probe must be thorough and transparent. We need to know if safety protocols were being followed. These workers deserve justice, not just compensation after their deaths.

Heart goes out to all affected families. Maybe it's time to reconsider how we manufacture fireworks - are there safer alternatives we could explore? Safety should come before profits.
