That is one thing I always do and have reminded others at my range to do.. put the lid or stopper on your powder jug. All it takes is one little spark and that thing could blow up. That kid was kind of lucky actually.

Man alive! That could have gotten really bad. Looks like no one was hurt, thank goodness.

That is a good lesson and reminder of what can happen when people get careless.

It almost looks like a box of pellets but hard to tell for sure. That is a lesson that won't be soon forgotten.

That is one of them 'poof, no eyebrows'. Whew, lucky boy. I always load on the tailgate of my truck with my bench a couple steps away. That was scary.
