1/7: Woman buried alive in rubble, rescued

Public fireworks sales were, unless I'm remembering wrong (I left there aged 10 with my parents), banned in Australia some time in the 80s. Someone was killed in an accident and they just decided to prevent anything like it ever happening again. That's probably why they try to make the public firework displays (which are still allowed but strictly controlled) all the more impressive at New Years and the like.
