A “firecracker-like” device was set off outside the U. S. Embassy in Beijing, China on Thursday. Only the man who set off the “device” was injured, report authorities. Videos from bystanders went viral on Twitter early, according to CNN.
One video, shared by CNN’s Will Ripley, shows the confusion in the aftermath. You can see there is a lot of smoke, but no appearance of panic.
