| SHERIDAN, Colo. – A couple planning to set off their own Super Bowl pyrotechnics accidentally blew up their own car while transporting a balloon filled with an explosive gas. Normally the only explosive gas at my parties comes after I eat my chili Norman Frey, 46, and his companion suffered busted eardrums in the explosion Sunday as they drove to a Super Bowl party, according to the Arapahoe County sheriff. The balloon had been filled with acetylene, a flammable gas used in welding, and it had rolled across the back seat, possibly causing static electricity that ignited the gas. Must have been all out of hydrogen The explosion broke windows, bent doors outwards and pushed up the roof about a foot. “Looking at the car closely, it's amazing that these people weren't killed,” Sheriff Grayson Robinson said. Saw it on the news, he missed the Darwin by that much Several people reported the explosion, but when a deputy arrived, Frey and the woman had abandoned the vehicle. The license plate led them to Frey, who faces a felony charge of possession, use, or removal of explosives or incendiary devices. The woman will not be charged, authorities said. "Told you the party would be a blast. Honey? Honey? Now where did she go?" |

| #1 The explosion broke windows, bent doors outwards and pushed up the roof about a foot. What comes of using ACME designs and gas. Semi-ot.... acetylene? Could an acetylene ballon launch? Seems like it would havier that the atmosphere. |
