Video posted to YouTube shows the dramatic moment a food stall exploded at a fireworks festival in Japan on Thursday evening.<\/B><\/p>\n
More than 100,000 people had gathered for the annual pyrotechnic display in Fukuchiyama city<\/B>, said the local chamber of commerce and industry, which organized the event.<\/p>\n
The video shows flames leaping from the stall’s awning, then screams after a second explosion less than two minutes later.<\/p>\n
People are seen lying on the ground receiving treatment, before firefighters race to the scene.<\/p>\n
Sixty people were taken to a number of hospitals, suffering from varying degrees of burns<\/B>, authorities said.<\/p>\n
At one hospital alone, 16 people ages 8 to 85 years were treated for serious burns. Others were taken to more than 10 hospitals, some outside Kyoto prefecture.<\/p>\n
Police are investigating the cause of the blaze, which local media said was believed to have started when the operator of a food stall that sells “baby kasutera,” a popular sponge-cake in Japan, tried to refuel his generator.<\/p>\n
