A 70-year-old man, Robert Spagnuolo, died on July 4 in Wareham when a firework he was setting off exploded in his face. Witnesses reported that he was at the beach setting off fireworks when one exploded. First responders were called to the scene at 9:19 p.m. and found him with an injury to his face, where he was pronounced dead shortly thereafter.
While somebody trying to open a plane's exit in midair would be a frightening situation, it is not possible to actually open the door at altitude.
