You gotta love the reporting on this story....

"A 43-year-old man lit a firework on top of his head, resulting in his near-sudden death in San Antonio, police say" (my emphasis added).

The article goes on to say, "The victim,..... died shortly after officers arrived, according to the police report."

That sure doesn't sound like a "near-sudden death" to me, especially given typical police response times. Why can't they just say "resulting in his death?" Was the reporter trying to hit a minimum word limit? :facepalm:
Don't think that animal exists any longer, reporter that is.

At Clear Lake Iowa they used a barge years ago for the fireworks show on the lake. One year the whole works went up, the whole show only lasted a few minutes but it was a serious show. No one got hurt, the guys jumped in the water as soon as all hell broke out.

Lucky for the guys there were no torpedo fireworks. :winktongue:
