PHUKET: -- Two workers were severely injured when they sprayed insecticide into a cable wheel and then lit it up with a Zippo lighter in order to get rid of a wasp’s nest inside the wheel.

There was an explosion which destroyed the wheel, flinging fragments in all directions.

The two workers, Polawat Suwong, 22, and Prapanpong Sinmalee, 29, suffered cuts and slashes on their legs and injuries to their genital areas. Both were taken to Thalang Hospital.

Reminds me of the time I bought gas for the bike and the attendant stood there smoking a cig while filling up the bike, scared the crap out of me!

Even "experts" are not immune. Fire training involved setting fire to a derelict house in USA.

Poured gasoline in all the rooms, waited too long so the house filled with an explosive atmosphere!

It doesn't look very controlled to me! What happened to the fireman who was caught in the blast? He escaped I hope.
