Explosive Pranks

2007 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

An employee prank caused an explosion and $5,000 in damage at a south shore depanneur on Wednesday morning.

At around 1:30 a.m., the employee and a friends were playing with a can of butane fuel inside a Couche Tard at St. Francois-Xavier and Marie-Victorin in Candiac.

When the pair ignited the canister, it exploded and burned a cigarette display and part of the store's roof.

The employee and his friend escaped injury.

Police say it was an accident and they won't lay any charges. As for the employee's future at the store, police say that's up to the owner.

Just what did they expect to happen when they ignited a canister of butane? They sure are lucky they weren't injured. Thanks for sending this in, Yves.

Boy, the air in there must sure have been hard to breathe! Apparently this happened in a smoke shop. WHY would they want to "play" with a can of butane? TRES stupid! Merci, Yves!
