An 18-year old girl and her 27-year old brother were killed in a bonfire explosion in St. Clair Township (near Flint) Michigan, Saturday night when a large two-story bonfire that had been heavily soaked with gasoline by the 27 year old man who was the resident of the property, exploded upon being lit. According to the story, the girl's brother invited her to light the bonfire, which had been prepared to celebrate her graduation, and the resulting explosion scattered wood 100 yards away from the pile, and blew out windows in a structure over 100 feet away. The two died from trauma and not burns, according to the sheriff's department who investigated.
Ugh....what a tragic way to die...I might use a cupful of gasoline to start a fire but rarely more than that. Very sad.
