Not sure who put the "fireworks" deep in the woods of Central Park . . . but that had to hurt.  Between Istanbul . . . Baghdad. . . . Paris and all the other "attacks" of the last 48 hours . . ya get kind of uneasy in NYC. | ||

But . . . I'll bet this hurt more . . . | ||

Pressure sensitive fireworks they say... Okay... When it comes to piercing a hand with things, it's not the initial injury buy the swelling afterwards that sucks. | ||

I am laughing at the "homemade fireworks" that didn't go off the prior day due to dampness and exploded when a fellow stepped on them. Possible. But it requires the presence of at least one very stupid (you'd keep your eyes open climbing in that rock scramble) person and a very unusual type of firework. I'm planning on going to the roof tonight to watch the Macy's fireworks . . . .IF all I have to do is look down 40 floors to Central Park . . I'll have a dandy view! | ||

Where traditionally anything resembling an explosive device would shut an area down and invite the bomb squad, an actual explosive device blowing off an appendage is deemed "just fireworks." Most likely an acetylene bomb going by reports. | ||

So someone steps on a IED in Central Park and its not news....  Be safe! I hope all I see on the news tomorrow is how great the fireworks were. | ||

The F.B.I now has the area cordoned off investigating the "homemade fireworks". | ||

"homemade fireworks". In the middle east they call that an IED | ||

"IED" is a racist term. The device self identifies as a sparkler, and calling it anything else is punishable as hate speech. You have to let it into the bathroom with little girls or the IRS will audit you, the BLM will sieze your land, your business will be fined, and you will be slapped with a gag order that prohibits you from speaking about it publicly. Millions of these sparkler refugees are being oppressed in their home land by republican evangelicals and we're encouraging them to immigrate without documentation across our southern border. | ||

Regarding the lady with the spike through her hand...you've got to be pretty stupid to do something like that. I should know, I've impaled my hand with an ice pick. It stung a bit, but I didn't pass out. I wonder how much of her swooning was for the camera? | ||

I've had a toothpick through a finger, nail through a hand, and a drill bit through a hand. No bigs. |
