Man’s hand blown off by homemade firework as powerful as a quarter-stick of dynamite

We were bound to hear a story like this: A Kansas City man had his right hand blown off by a homemade firework that was the equivalent of a quarter-stick of dynamite, NBC Action News reported. 

Yeah, this sucks. But it’s even worse when you hear the details. Around 3:30 a.m. Sunday, three guys were hanging out at a Northland apartment when one “lit a powerful homemade device and dropped it on the floor.” We hope that dropping it was an accident. If not, that’s a total dick move.
