Continue reclamation and the commissioning security of the area of via Patacca, in Ercolano, where last November 18th a powerful explosion occurred in an illegal fireworks factory. The operations, started this morning, have allowed to locate the point where the explosion was triggered, which caused the formation of a crater visible on the ground.
The explosion devastated the house where the fireworks had been set up, killing three young people: Sara and Aurora Esposito, 26-year-old twins, and Samuel Tafciu, an 18-year-old boy originally from Albania. The explosion, which occurred in a completely illegal structure, caused enormous damage, also leading to the death of the victims, who were occupying the building at the time of the tragedy.
Autopsies are scheduled for today on the bodies of the three victims, which will have to clarify the precise causes of death. In the meantime, the firefighters are at work on the site of the accident, engaged in clean-up operations, together with the bomb disposal unit of the provincial command of Naples and the Carabinieri of the investigative unit of Torre Annunziata, who are trying to shed light on the dynamics of the explosion and the responsibilities linked to the clandestine factory.
