The annual Festa del Soccorso Festival held in the Italian city of San Severo took an unsuspected turn for the worse this year. Viral video shows crowds of people running and trying to hide from the flying explosives. The video is shocking to watch. Have you ever participated in anything so wild? In Mexico's Tultepec, they also organize this kind of fest. It lasts a week and takes locals months to prepare for it. The show is incredible, complete with lights, fireworks and colorful bulls. The hard work is done to honour St. John of God, a patron saint of Mexican pyrotechnic craftsmen. You can learn more about the dangerous fest, fearless locals and the firework business in our documentary, 'Mexican Boom Town' (2018).
