On February 12, the evening of the third day of the Lunar New Year, a sudden fireworks tragedy was staged in Weishi County, Kaifeng, Henan. 10-year-old Coco, a lively and lovely child, was unfortunately injured by fireworks while enjoying the festive atmosphere with his family, and finally passed away after 5 days of rescue. This tragedy is a sad sigh and has also triggered people's deep thinking about the safety and social responsibility of fireworks display.
On the night of the incident, Coco and his family passed through the Wanghong Bridge near the North Third Ring Road in Weishi County, which is a place with a dense population and many vehicles. Coco asked for a barbecue, and the father and son followed the zebra crossing to the barbecue stand on the south side of the road. However, just as they were about to return after buying the barbecue, a firework similar to a "wolf howling rocket" suddenly burst out of the crowd, directly stabbing Coco's head and **. This happened so suddenly that people didn't have time to react, and Coco was severely injured in the head and immediately fainted.
Subsequently, Coco was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment. However, due to the severity of the injury, doctors performed three craniotomys, but still could not save Coco's life. In the rescue process, the family spent more than 200,000 yuan in medical expenses, but in the end they still failed to save this young life. Coco's death has brought great grief to the family and raised many questions about the incident.
First of all, fireworks, as a flammable and explosive material, are extremely dangerous. When setting off fireworks, you should choose a location away from crowds and take the necessary safety measures. However, in this incident, fireworks sprang out in a crowded area and caused serious injuries. This raises the question of whether the fireworks' set-offers have fulfilled their duty of reasonable care. Should there be civil liability?
Secondly, the fireworks restriction area stipulated by Weishi County is outside the Third Ring Road, but there have been people setting off fireworks at the Wanghong Bridge in the North Third Ring Road, where the incident occurred. This raises questions about local responsibility for control. As an Internet celebrity check-in place, should the local ** strengthen the supervision of the area to prevent similar incidents from happening? If the person who fired the gun cannot be found in the end, does the family have the right to demand that the local ** bear the corresponding fault compensation?
In addition, this incident has also raised people's thinking about social responsibility. How can we keep the public safe while enjoying the holiday spirit? How to balance personal freedom with social responsibility? This requires each of us to think deeply and put it into practice.
Zhao Liangshan, a senior partner at Shaanxi Hengda Law Firm and a well-known public interest lawyer, believes that the person who set off the guns should bear civil liability for compensation in this incident. If the person who set off the fireworks, knowing that the place where the crime occurred was dense, intentionally or negligently, causing the death of others, he is suspected of the crime of endangering public safety by dangerous means or the crime of negligently endangering public safety by dangerous means, and shall be investigated for criminal responsibility. At the same time, if the person who fired the gun is not found in the end, the family can ask the local ** to bear the corresponding fault compensation liability.
In short, this fireworks tragedy is a wake-up call for us. While enjoying the festive atmosphere, we must attach great importance to fireworks safety and social responsibility. **Society and individuals should work together to strengthen supervision, improve safety awareness, implement responsibilities, and jointly maintain public safety and social stability. Let us learn from this and work together to create a safe and harmonious social environment.
