"Can I blow them all up? I have a really cool bomb we want to try out." I said yes cause hey, what's cuter than an 8 year old boy blowing up metal? He took something that looked like it weighed 50 lbs out of the backpack.

Gazzy lit the fuse, ran it over to the pile he had made, then turned around to fly back. He wasn't far before it exploded and sent him soaring through the air, and in not the way we usually do it either.

"Gazzy! We were all screaming as we ran toward him where he had landed. His shirt had been blown to pieces, and his arms and back were covered with nasty cuts and burns.
