This is not breaking news, but I think it just had to be submitted. This is proof positive our society has been dumbed down below 3rd world status.

Just kidding. Great story though and my first contribution.

Exploding Beer Keg Kills 1, Injures 7
October 23, 2006

Connecticut - A 22-year-old New Milford, Conn., man was killed and seven others injured after a beer keg thrown into a fire barrel exploded at an outdoor party. The blast at 3:13 a.m. Sunday was powerful enough to shake windows a mile away from the field where between 50 and 100 people in their 20s were attending an annual pig roast, the Danbury (Conn.) News-Times reported Monday.

These are the kind of things first responders have to deal with all the time. People just do not think things through all the way anymore I swear.

Last words I am sure were: heheh dude check this out!

Drinking and stupidity just dont mix. I imagine the guy that threw that keg on the fire was planning on driving home later too.
