We were discussing this very event just the other night at coffee, as well as other stupid acts, and wondered how it was that we (members of the immediate group) had survived some of the crap we pulled. Some people get a second chance at life and some don't. There was a kid not long ago who blew half his face off (and lived) while attempting to blow up his neighbors mail box with a home made bomb. What kids don't put their parent's through... Quoting Chuck Hards <chuckhards@yahoo.com>:
especially when the loads are substituted with dad's smokeless powder. ;)
My wife works with the mother of the fellow who died in that accident. It does appear that he didn't know what he was doing and paid the ultimate price. As an even more sad aside, the same mother lost another son to suicide some years earlier...
