Firecracker Prank Nearly Blows the Balls Off of Detroit City Worker

[Turd Fergusen]

These pranksters are real ball busters.

Two Detroit city workers on a bathroom break were reportedly injured when firecrackers exploded as they sat down on toilets inside their fire truck repair shop Wednesday.

The stunt left one of the men with injuries to his leg and scrotum, according to the Detroit Metro Times.

The victims are employees of the city’s General Services Department, an agency that repairs city fire trucks and other equipment, the report said.

The city’s deputy fire commissioner, Dave Fornell, told the paper the incident “was a prank gone bad.”

President of the Detroit Fire Fighters Association, Mike Nevin, insisted his members were not to blame.

Bizarre. How do you time this so someone sits down right as its about to go off? Ive never had a firework that with more than a 5 second delay after being lit before shit explodes.

Im thinking the victims were the ones fucking around in there. Just bizarre.

And how wouldnt you hear the wick burning down? That makes a very noticeable hiss. In water it would cause some steam and possibly bubbling too.

I am thinking it may not have been a firework after all.

There is a simple contact explosive made by mixing aqueous solutions of Substance M and Substance N then filtering the precipitate. This stuff is hairy in larger than milligram quantities. It is safer (NB: Not "safe"; merely "safer") to handle when wet than it is dry, because it is so fantastically sensitive that the stress induced as it dries is enough to fire it.

I can see somebody thinking it would be a comical prank to put some of this stuff on the rim of the toilet bowl and inadvertently getting enough on the rim to injure the one guy.

I am thinking it was, made like the poppers you throw, and instead of being lit, it explodes via pressure! Sort of like a real bomb would do
