A man blew himself up with a hand grenade Tuesday, shortly after train inspectors asked to see his ticket in Chelyabinsk, local prosecutors said.

Oh Snap, Yo. That’s messed up

“Yershov had taken the pin out. He then tried to put the pin back in the grenade, but instead it exploded,” Yergashova said.

Whoops!!! You can’t unfry that egg

[Cicero]

Sounds like too much vodka.

[ClearCase_guy]

They should outlaw grenade pins.

This is one of those circumstances where I’m perfectly willing to learn from somebody else’s mistake.

I have this problem sometimes . . . when I change my PIN then try to use the old one.

Hold my vodka and watch this.

[N. Theknow]

Was the guy’s name Maximillian Clelandovich?

Not clear on the concept that Mr. Grenade is not your friend when the pin is pulled.

He refused to cooperate with the inspectors and instead demanded that the train continue to Vladivostok, thousands of kilometers away on the Pacific coast, said Liana Yergashova, of the local prosecutor's office.

You have not lived until you have travelled a long distance in a Soviet-era train. It's an interesting time.

He then tried to put the pin back in the grenade, but instead it exploded

I've never had this negative result. The Lord must be with me.

Darwin/Tard Award PING! :-)

Who's he kidding... I bet he threw the pin by mistake.

[hiredhand]

I know it's probably wrong to sit here and chuckle about this, but ya know it just had to SUCK realizing what was happening....fumbling trying to get the pin back in. :-) Sheesh!

I went through anti-terrorist training at the "job" just about the time we bombed Libya back in the 1980s. I don't recall ever being shown how to put the ping BACK! I "guess" ya could, but you'd have to straighten it out first and hold on TIGHT to the compression bar (holding the plunger down!).

I hated the things personally....they make a lot of "bang" in a very small area!

“Paying with a debit card, sir?”

“We’ll need your PIN.”
