Fireworks hidden in a Kansas City man's oven turned
out to be a recipe for disaster when the man attempted to heat up some food
but instead blew his kitchen to bits.
The explosion occurred early on Wednesday, the U.S. Independence
Day holiday, at the home of a 28-year-old man who had spent the night celebrating
with a group of friends, Kansas City Assistant Fire Marshall Jim Duddy said
Thursday.
According to Duddy, the group, "who had been drinking
heavily," were shooting fireworks off for several hours on Tuesday night
at the Northland area home, disturbing neighbors who called police. Someone
in the group attempting to hide a stash of fireworks from the police, stuffed
them into the oven and then forgot about them, Duddy said.
About 3 a.m. the homeowner decided to bake some lasagna
and turned the oven on. "It blew the kitchen all apart," said Duddy.
"The walls were all blown out, the oven flew right through one of the walls."
Flying glass caused some slight injuries, but otherwise
no one was hurt.
See! See what happens when you attempt to bake lasagna at 3am? That'll teach him!
Seriously though, stupidity has to be one of the single most scary things there is.
