Three blocks from us, sure stunk up the neighborhood. I`ve seen people do some idiotic
stuff in my time but this one..this one tops them all. :o

"the man was in the garage and was trying to use a shop vacuum to siphon gasoline from a boat gas tank, "and it must have ignited from a spark."

Glad know one got hurt worse than they did. Sometimes lack of common sense can be very costly.

The shop vac caused static electricity which caused the spark and ignited you know what.

Electricity and gas, a deadly combination. Just like lighting a match to find a natural gas leak.

Go figure.
