Steven P. Administrators Posted September 7, 2020 Administrators Share Posted September 7, 2020 Quote A man has blown up part of his house in France while trying to swat a fly. The man, who is in his 80s, was about to tuck into his dinner when he became irritated by a fly buzzing around him. He picked up an electric fly swatter and started targeting it - but a gas canister was leaking in his Dordogne home. A reaction between the device and the gas caused an explosion, destroying the kitchen and partly damaging the roof of the home in Parcoul-Chenaud village. According to local media, the unnamed man had a lucky escape, sustaining just a burn to the hand. However, the fate of the fly is not known, news outlet Sud-Ouest notes. The man has since checked into a local campsite while his family repair the house.

macrosslover Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 I half expected this story to be in Australia before I clicked the story, I bet the fly lived though. Probably landed right on his head before it flew off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
