@abc7chicago: Two people were injured by a large explosion at a fireworks factory in Malta on Monday, June 1. Footage here from Max Ebeling, who goes by @madmax___dj on Instagram, shows the spectacular blast, which the Malta Police Force said was at a factory in Triq tal-Qadi, near St Paul’s Bay. “Kids were screaming and people were running around checking their phones not knowing what was going on,” Ebeling said. “Then more and more little explosions kept going off, which sounded like gunfire. We all thought we were being invaded.” Police said two men working in nearby fields at the time were taken to hospital with minor injuries. No factory workers were on the premises.
