Fireworks went off in Ocean City this morning on the beach, down by the inlet. Not sure if there are any injuries. Video taken by my sister-in-law. pic.twitter.com/m5MFcRtRUN

Looks like Ocean City, MD won't be having fireworks tonight. I really hope this whole section was roped off all morning long and no one was hurt. We have our @7NewsDC camera pointed there here: https://t.co/FTRFOBaESx https://t.co/Z0Mc5VbEKg pic.twitter.com/AOrMdAOyiZ

Ah, the Fourth of July, a day to celebrate America and big, loud explosions. Sometimes things go awry and all you can hope is that no one is hurt and cameras are rolling. We appear to be a decade removed from the classic bootleg fireworks on a street with NSFW language video. The only thing that can beat that is a full-on factory explosion.
