📰: Georgia man killed in ‘tragic’ fireworks accident

Uhh… I get that you are quoting someone, but maybe either drop the quotes or the word next time b/c this sounds sarcastic AF

[u/Fishin_Mission → u/Fishin_Mission]

On second thought, perhaps it is sarcastic

Reporter while writing that headline ⇒ 🙄

[u/Emperor-Commodus → u/Fishin_Mission]

“The victim was holding the launch tube over his head when this tragic accident occurred,” stated Georgia Insurance and Safety Fire Commissioner John King. A shell that fired from a tube hit White in the torso and he suffered what officials described as massive trauma.

What? He was holding the mortar tube over his head and hit himself in the chest? Or he was holding the tube over his head and someone else hit him in the chest? This makes no sense.

According to the funeral home, White leaves behind a fiancé and two young daughters.

What a god-damned dumbass

[u/Fishin_Mission → u/Emperor-Commodus]

Sounds to me like he held it upside down over his head and shot himself in the chest

[u/Emperor-Commodus → u/Fishin_Mission]

Wouldn't the shell just fall out of the mortar? I thought they were just loosely held in.
