Fireworks gone crazy during a concert killed 14 concert viewers and injured 16 others at a Quito, Ecuador, nightclub, the Red Cross confirmed.
The victims, ages 19 to 26, were watching a local rock band play at Factory at about 4 p.m., said Red Cross spokesman Henry Ochoa.
The fireworks were part of the show, and police people have deemed the incident an accident.
