Honolulu had aerial fireworks going off all over the island as usual on New Years. Search on Youtube for New Years Eve 2025 and you will see thousands all over the place, especially in town but also on the Windward side. There is a drone video captured that shows the explosions in one house where it appears these had been sold, as there was a gigantic cache of aerial fireworks that were hit that all blew up.

So four people died including little kids, and 20 people are in the hospital. It was horrible.
