How horrible.
I have seen some youtube videos where young people film themselves doing some incredibly dangerous “experiments” without a thought as to even basic safety precautions.
I’m surprised more tragedies like this don’t happen.
Kids have been doing incredibly stupid things since long before Algore invented the interweb.
When I was a kid in the early 1970s, my friends and I made both nitroglycerin and ammonium nitrate using instructions that had been zeroxed from a copy of the Anarchist’s Cookbook. We mixed them out in a field and then detonated our concoctions by shooting at them with a 30-06 rifle.
I never should have survived to adulthood.
