I know this man personally and he is a lot smarter than the news puts him out to be. He is a mechanical genius and a real sweetheart. With a lot of prayer and Gods healing ability, he is doing good. <3

I like my wobble die pop but I got more brain power than play with home made explosives. There is one in every crowd.

This falls into the same category as getting hit by a train, only children and DRUNK Adults get into this kind of mess.

That's why the gunnersmates on the old Battleships used to wear clothe sleeves and cotton gloves when loading the bags of gun powder used in the big guns, cut down on the chance of any static electricity of any kind. Also all jewelry was removed for the same reason. Some of those old bags sit around for two long and boom they want to go off on their own.

The weather Is not right, static electricity will build when aluminum foil ball filled with gunpowder is shoved down a steel barrow with out a ground strap. I guess its a little late now to know that.

This is a terrible accident....however, he didn't know what he was doing, obviously. Hasn't had any "bomb making" experience? A terrible lesson for this working man.
