Abstract
Violent explosion at fireworks depot. Two years after the 2004 Seest accident in Denmark, the accident repeated itself in the UK, Festival Fireworks, Marlie Farm, East Sussex, 2006 explosion. Emergency responders were badly prepared and had insufficient knowledge of earlier mass explosion accidents in fireworks depots/containers. Miss Fortuna played an important role in the Danish accident, not so in the UK. Multiple investigations were carried out in Denmark. Nevertheless, the quality of the single UK investigation of the Marlie Farm accident released three years later exceeds all the Danish investigations combined.
