Holey muther!
Was channel surfing and stopped on some channel called Impacto (spanish speaking) showing an outdoor stadium where people were lighting off fireworks at a soccer/football/whatever game. Someone launched a rocket across the stadium, it landed in a guy's eye socket and lodged in his skull - and continued to spew flames/rocket blast. A kid was holding the guy and screaming as the flames spewed and his Dad's (dunno if it was his dad) head was cooked. Blood everywhere. The guy died.
I suddenly don't feel so bad that there are fireworks restrictions in Minnesota. You can't control the idiocy of others. I still can't believe I just saw that. :disgust:
*Edit 1:
Of course, poor guy - but his kid.......... Watching his Dad's head burn, screaming for help, trying to shake the rocket out of his Dad's eye.... The TV zoomed in and you could clearly see the rocket shooting flames out of the guys skull. Huge flames, looked like the kids hands were getting burned as he held onto his dad. Little while later, they showed police covering the body with pieces of cardboard, blood all over the steps.

For all I know, it could have been the kids's older brother or Uncle or friend. My first impression is that it was his Dad.
