Indonesia, Oct 27 (ANI): Two massive blasts and a fire rip through a fireworks factory in Jakarta on Thursday, killing at least 47 people. The heat was so intense that it scorched grass as far as thirty feet, or 10 meters, around the site. Acrid smoke and the stench of burning plastic and chemicals still hung in the air hours. Workers reportedly had little time to escape after the explosions ripped through the building.
