Not that kind of a blast.

Something really crazy happened last night not far from my parents' house. A bunch of kids were playing on Myrtle Street when all of the sudden there was an explosion. Two kids died and another four were hurt. The police suspect they were messing around with an old military round when it went off. According to the paper, the blast, “rattled windows and shook floors up and down the street.” Wow. That must have been one big bullet.
The owner of the round said he thought it was safe because the shell casing and gun powder had been removed. He kept it around as a conversation piece. “He said he learned later from the police that there is gunpowder in the gold tip in military rounds.”

My heart goes out to all the families.
