Two Pompano Beach children are in the hospital after a homemade firework exploded near them.
Police say the 8-year-old and 9-year-old were playing with what is known as an "onion bomb"-- an illegal firework-- when it failed to light.
The children then took it apart and tried lighting it again, causing it to explode with them both leaning over it yesterday.
Both suffered burns and are being treated at the Ryder Trauma Center.
