Blinded after watching neighbors set off fireworks to celebrate New Year's Eve

Mr. On set off fireworks to celebrate New Year's Eve on the night of January 28, injuring both him and a neighbor.

Lang Son Provincial Police officially informed: Two young men, Hoang Van On, 31 years old and Hoang Van Nham, 28 years old, both residing in Ao Vuong village, Cam Son commune, Luc Ngan district, Bac Giang, were two patients seriously injured by setting off firecrackers on New Year's Eve. They were received by Chi Lang District Medical Center and transferred to Lang Son Provincial General Hospital for emergency treatment and are out of danger.

However, he has not been discharged yet and is continuing to be monitored and treated at Lang Son Provincial General Hospital.

Hoang Van On had half of his forearm amputated because he lit firecrackers himself to celebrate New Year's Eve.

The leader of Lang Son General Hospital also said that at the time of admission, patient Hoang Van On's forearm was crushed and he had lost a lot of blood. After emergency resuscitation, he was transferred to the operating room to have his crushed stump removed, the skin stitched to create a shape, and half of his forearm was amputated.

As for Hoang Van Nham, his left eye bled profusely, diagnosed as a ruptured eyeball, with irreversible protrusion of the internal eye tissue. This patient was also transferred for emergency surgery, enucleating the left eyeball. Although the condition of these patients has gradually stabilized, they still have serious sequelae. Among them, Hoang Van On had half of his forearm amputated, and Hoang Van Nham was permanently blind in his left eye.

Hoang Van Nham was blinded in his left eye because he stood watching Hoang Van On set off fireworks.

According to the victims' families, although the firecracker incident did not occur in Lang Son, and transferring the victims to Chi Lang District Medical Center for emergency treatment was out of line, but because the urgent situation of saving people was important, everyone decided to transfer the victims to Chi Lang District Medical Center for emergency treatment closer to home.

Because the distance from the victims' homes to Luc Ngan District Medical Center or Bac Giang Provincial Hospital is much farther than transferring to Chi Lang District Medical Center (Lang Son) for emergency treatment. However, because the condition of both victims was too serious, Chi Lang District Medical Center immediately transferred these victims to the upper level at Lang Son General Hospital for timely treatment.

Lang Son police also informed that after the two patients regained consciousness, the investigation agency worked with the hospital and the two male patients to verify and clarify the cause of the incident. Initially, the two patients admitted that the cause of the incident was due to setting off firecrackers to celebrate New Year's Eve on the night of January 28 (at nearly 1 a.m. on the first day of Tet).

At the time of the incident, Hoang Van On brought firecrackers to his front yard to light, and Hoang Van Nham, On's neighbor, also ran out and stood next to him watching On light the firecrackers. When the firecrackers exploded, both of them were injured.
