Police: NY man blows off arm with party fireworks
The Associated Press
ISLIP TERRACE, N.Y. -- Police say a man lighting fireworks has blown off his arm at a party on New York's Long Island.
Suffolk County police say 36-year-old Eric Smith was using a 3-foot long metal tube to shoot mortars from the street near his Islip (EYE'-slip) Terrace home around 5:45 p.m. Saturday.
Police believe he leaned over the device to ignite it and didn't get out of the way before an explosive shot out of the launcher. His left arm was severed at the shoulder.
Smith was taken to Southside Hospital in serious condition while friends packed the lost limb in ice to try to save it. Police believe doctors will try to reattach his arm.
A hospital spokesman didn't immediately return a call.
Police say another person at the party also was taken to a hospital, but it's unclear why.
Happy Canada Day back atcha!

Ahaha!
That Long Island guy might be a guido. Add alcohol to the mix and you have limb-ripping fun!
Thanks a lot Canada!

It was his left arm that went. Has been to the hospital and he seems all right now.

After that effort, that man deserves a high five.

I usually hit the beach to watch the fireworks, but it's been raining all day today...

Alcohol and explosive are never really a good mix. We always do a Designated Lighter.
Had chili cheese fries and beer for dinner, waiting for it to get dark since we didn't buy a bunch of fireworks, just a few of the really nice ones, so we're going for maximum effect. No cannon this year either since where we are I can't light it off.
Happy 4th everybody! USA! USA! USA!

Thanks for the greetings, Kitdy.
Me, a car guy with four cars, did not drive any of them yesterday (or Saturday).
I bicycled to a fireworks event about 1.5 miles away. With all the traffic, it was probably faster getting there by bike.

It was pretty crazy in the neighborhood where I was. There were so many people setting them off it was almost one constant boom, the entire sky was constantly lit up bright enough you could easily see things on the ground, and well before midnight the whole place was covered in sulfery smelling smoke. Was pretty awesome.
After I finished off my puny collection of fireworks I just sat back in a lawn chair with a sixpack (Sam Adams for America's birthday, of course) and watched the show. Tried to get a couple pics with the cell phone, but they didn't really turn out.
