Shocking to reed that such stuff, which looks relatively harmless, can cause so much devestation. I didn't expect there would be this much force behind the "powder", of what we call in the Netherlands "knalerwten". Although, there was a large ammount of it, so it's hard to compare it to the ammount of powder from one piece, there wasn't any hard casing, which could build up some pressure.

This shows, that even with some safe looking "child fireworks", serious things can happen. This is just another reminder, not to experiment with fireworks (and in particular, powders). Certainly powders who are very reactive for rubbing/moving motions.
