Right here. Pesos to doughnuts says he lived...oh Darwin, the irony!

MEXICO CITY, Mexico (AP) -- A fire engulfed Mexico's most famous fireworks market Thursday, setting off a chain of explosions in a town northeast of the nation's capital that destroyed hundreds of open-air stands just ahead of Independence Day celebrations.

Vendors at the San Pablito Market said despite signs warning against smoking and lighting the merchandise, a customer who had just purchased fireworks lit one and threw it, accidentally setting off a chain of explosions that destroyed almost every structure in an area of some 5,000 square yards.

I would normally agree that Tequilla + Explosives or Firearms = a damn good time!

In this case, I would have to make an exception. :roll:

Tequila + anything = a damn good time. 😀

Unfortunately, the day after is usually one you would like to forget. 😱

5000 square yards is not nearly 2.8 square miles

(5000 square yards = 45,000 square feet. 1 square mile = almost 28 million square feet. You did 5000/1760 🙂)

Retarded nonetheless

It was an area about the size of a Walmart.

Thank you, Mister Mathematics for not only peeing in my Cornflakes, pissing on my parade and pooping in my Pinata, but for pointing out that I am numerically-challenged.

YOU...can do math....but can you....come up with a witty retort to this fine piece of literary craftsmanship? HA! 😉
