My uncle got hit with a firework in his eye yesterday and he's going to lose some of his vision. I don't know the details, but he's having surgery now in an attempt to salvage some of his vision in that eye. Don't play with fireworks, kids.

that is too bad. we walked by some people firing off fireworks yesterday, and I got pretty uptight about their level of safety. those things aren't the most stable toys in the world.

Dude was decapitated about 8 blocks from me last night, lighting illegal fireworks.
De-*******-capitated.
In a trailer park.

SH, sorry to hear that and Rube? Holy ****.

I'm just annoyed at stupid employees and stupid clients like you can only be after taking several days off work and a raft load of **** has accumulated for you to deal with.

A 12-inch "mortar" firework will blow a hole in steel plate.
A 10-inch shell puts a basketball-sized dent in the steel.

This, apparently, was at least a 4-inch and possibly a 6-inch shell, both illegal for the general public. An eyewitness said he ran over to the dude after it happened to attempt to aid him, but found nothing above the shoulders.
