A fireworks technician died yesterday in an explosion in Century Park, Pudong — and he wasn't even lighting any fireworks. 26 year old Pu Jiliang from Henan province died on the spot at around 12.30pm when he was loading onto a truck near the gate of the park. Fireworks displays by Russian, Japanese, German and Chinese artists had been scheduled at Century Park for Sept. 30, Oct. 3 and Oct.6 as part of the National Day celebrations. No other casualties have been reported and the police have not furnished more details surrounding Pu's mysterious death.

To blast things off, tonight's fireworks show continued as if nothing ever happened.
Rest In Peace Mr. Jiliang
I'm giving 10/1 on that he had a cigarette hanging out of his mouth at the time.
