Up in the northwest of Germany, between Duisburg and Dusseldorf, there's this town of Krefeld.....population of 225,000.
Last night (31st of December)....naturally is a celebration type period in Germany and a lot of fireworks were fired off.
As I have mentioned in the past week, there's a public agenda going on around Germany to curtail and forbid fireworks. Some urbanized areas have set up zones where it's forbidden, and there's a lot of hype over the idea of a national ban. I suspect if you asked around....less than a quarter of population are pro-banning fireworks presently.
So in Krefeld last night.....some rockets ended up landing either on the roof or around the facility of the local zoo's monkey-building.
Yep, the building burned to the ground....killing the various monkey-occupants.
The odds that this will accelerate a national ban on fireworks? I'd take a guess that some Greta-type crew will assemble the images of the burnt monkey-house and proceed onto some national law to forbid fireworks here in 2020 in Germany.
UPDATE: 2 Jan. Chinese lanterns at the heart of this fire, instead of fireworks? That's the discussion going on. The lanterns have been deemed a national problem and various groups have been trying to forbid them for the past decade.
