“The accident should be used as an example of how dangerous fireworks can be, Hanson said.
Im never going to light a firecracker off again in my life, he said.”
What a $%*@ pussy. Fireworks don’t say “return to the US Government immediately”. Obviously this guy got into some military ordinance.
I assume that the guy talking to the reporter will stop driving or riding in cars the next time an accident happens and someone gets killed .. what an idiot!
And, and as for the guy who blew his head off ... yeah, he was an idiot too.

It’s still early, but this guy’s my candidate for the 2011 Darwin Award.
Will someone second the nomination?

Fireworks are illegal in Fargo.
These particular “fireworks” had a warning to call the U.S. Govt if found.
Seems to me the friend who is still alive and did not immediately call the police after seeing these unusual fireworks is culpable in this tragedy, morally if not legally.
Darwin awards all around. Just thank God no kids were in the way.

The victims injuries included massive head wounds from what appeared to be caused by a mortar type firework, police said.Understatement of the year award.

There is little to say when someone kills themself from sheer stupidity. I try not to laugh for almost everyone has people who will miss them, and besides I might come up with a even dumber way to go. I just hope it doesn't involve blowing my head clean off...yikes.

Must have been a 44 magnum shell

High powered fireworks and firecrackers should be handled by professionals only. The firecrackers I saw as a kid were about 1/2 the size of a cigarette or even a little smaller. The ones out there today are much more powerful. A guy I went to high school with lost one of his fingers mishandling one of these firecrackers. He was definitely NOT a professional.
It's always struck me that those people who set off these firecrackers are juvenile. If you are over 12-14 and are still messing around with this stuff, you've got some problems. Fireworks at a show handled by professionals is one thing, but just noise makers are dangerous and childish.

Second the nomination.
Independence Day weekend has been good for Darwin candidates....how about that guy in upstate NY riding helmetless in a anti-helmet law protest who flipped over his handlebars?

This one sounds a bit worse than a local incident a couple years ago. Two of our finest citizens decided to celebrate July 4 by firing a parachute flare stolen from the Army.
It landed on the roof of a factory, igniting a fire that burned for three days, doing $50 million damage, but at least no one was killed.
To: MediaMole
OH my gosh! Amazing no one was killed in or near the factory! Hope the bozos with this brilliant scheme paid dearly for their actions...but this being the USA, I bet they didn’t.
