What a waste of good Black Powder.

BTW: We re-sed Roman Candle tubes to make great M-80's. Cut fill and plugg as needed and add 3" of cannon fuse for some safe distancing.

#3 The men — two of whom may be from the Chicago area — were found around 7 p.m. Thursday about 100 yards west of the Route 178 bridge in Utica.....

So they might have been on or near the bridge, before their departure to the hereafter....

BOOOOM !
