Explosion is a phenomenon resulting from a sudden release of energy dissipated by: (1) blast wave; (2) translocation of objects; and (3) generation of heat. There are different types of explosive devices varying from sophisticated military bombs to simple firecrackers. These are made from various kinds of explosive materials. Sophisticated bombs are used in war and military operations to kill one's enemies, while simple firecrackers are meant for expressing joy and celebration. Here, the author reports an unusual case of homicide by the manufacture of an improvised explosive device from simple firecrackers. In India, these firecrackers are widely and freely available all over the country. The case highlights the fatal hazard resulting from easy access to these potentially dangerous devices, apart from the environmental pollution produced by their large scale use at the time of festivals in this country.
爆炸是一种由能量突然释放而产生的现象，能量通过以下方式消散：（1）冲击波；（2）物体移位；（3）热量产生。爆炸装置有不同类型，从精密的军事炸弹到简单的鞭炮不等。它们由各种爆炸材料制成。精密炸弹用于战争和军事行动中杀死敌人，而简单的鞭炮则用于表达喜悦和庆祝。在此，作者报告了一起不寻常的杀人案件，凶手用简单的鞭炮制作了简易爆炸装置。在印度，这些鞭炮在全国广泛且可自由获取。该案件凸显了轻易获取这些潜在危险装置所带来的致命危害，此外还包括在该国节日期间大量使用鞭炮所造成的环境污染。
