OK so i got this email from my cousin that said check this shit out.. so i opened it and this is what i saw.. some of yall have prolly seen it already but for those you havent..
A kid in Lindsborg, KS had filled several balloons with acetylene and was
shooting them with roman candles. We heard them go off about every 30
minutes or so. Then during the Lindsborg fireworks display at the college we
heard the ambulances racing over towards my house. On the way home we saw
all of the firemen & police at a house behind Viking Motorcycle company.
Later I learned that the kid was Loren Dauer, son of Ron & Mae Dauer. I
guess he had about 3 or 4 balloons left in the backseat of the truck, and
when he reached in to pull one of them out he slid it just enough to
cause static & BOOOOOOM!!!!!! He spent a little time in ICU in Wichita,
but is at home now. He blew out both eardrums, had to have a lot of
shards of glass pulled from his torso, face, & eyeballs. His nephew was
either in the truck or close enough by that it blew part of his face off &
required 30 some stitches to get it back. You see the damage to the
truck, but the garage it was by was moved partly off of its foundation,
and the people sitting in their lawn chairs watching this activity were
jolted several feet backwards out of their chairs. Why he is still alive I
don't know. You probably will say that was freakin' stupid, but think back
on how many times you've done stupid things & lived to tell about it. I
hear he is doing as good as can be expected. I hope maybe he learned
a lesson. God Speed Loren!!
These pictures tell the real story!
