This is the moment a firework exploded in a Brit's face killing him during the New Year celebrations in Pattaya, Thailand.<br /><br />Gary McLaren, 50, lit the huge rocket in front of the Miami A Gogo bar while revellers were celebrating the New Year.<br /><br />But after trying unsuccessfully to ignite the device, Gary tried a second time and finally lit the fuse.<br /><br />But with smoke pouring from the device, he then made the fatal mistake of returning to lit firework because he was not sure it was working.<br /><br />Seconds later as Gary stood over the 50cm long tube it exploded into his face and killed him.<br /><br />A bar worker said she recorded Gary walking out of the bar to launch the fireworks.<br /><br />She then shouted at him in dialect ''no, no, no, no, you can't do that'' before walking out to him.<br /><br />But Gary stayed next to the pyrotechnic device, which then exploded.<br /><br />Nopparat Munprom, 31, said: ''I stood outside the bar to watch the man releasing the fireworks. <br /><br />''I saw that the firework was lit but the man did not move. He stayed looking at it.<br /><br />''I said in Thai 'the firework is working already, you have to move' then I shouted 'no, no, no, no, you can't do that' and started to walk out.<br /><br />''Then the firework exploded in his face because he did not move and the colourful sparks came out in the street.<br /><br />''Everybody ran over to check on the man and he had blood on his face.<br /><br />''Last year people were doing this with small fireworks but this year they were much bigger and stronger.''
