2014 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

39 year old man from Citice,Czech republic,found signaling ammunition of some sort in his loft.Because he spotted,that cartridges are made from aluminium,he decided to disassemble them and sell bulk aluminium to a scrapyard.

After opening each piece,he poured gunpowder in ashtray,whilst smoking and flicking ash in the very same ashtray.Explosion followed.

"Luckily,the man managed to pour to ashtray only content of two cartridges out of 10 which he found,"police spokesman stated."He was fully conscious and communicated when rescue service arrived,suffered burs on palm and forearm,but ability of fingers movement was retained," added spokeswoman of regional rescue service.
