Scrap Worker Accidentally Fires Howitzer
Fri Sep 13,11:11 AM ET

KIEV (Reuters) - A Ukrainian scrap metal worker destroyed two roofs and singed his face when he cut into a 1940s howitzer and accidentally fired off a shell no one had noticed was lodged inside, local media reported Thursday.

Interfax-Ukraine news agency reported the worker had heated the metal by cutting the gun and had triggered the shell, which flew about 800 yards. It said there were no other casualties in the central Ukrainian city of Berdychiv.

Thanks, Lady

I will be back later. We are on our way to an outdoor Mass, followed by an Italian celebration. St. Elia is the patron Saint of a small town it southern Italy. We will visit with many of my husband's relatives after Mass before having dinner.

See y'all later tonight.
