Mexican Blows Up Apartment Spraying for Bugs
by James Buchanan
Isias Vidal Maceda blew up his apartment on Monday while spraying for bugs. He survived, proving that Mexicans are harder to get rid of than cockroaches. Not only do we have to put up with Mexicans crowding up the freeways, ruining public schools and driving up taxes, they might just blow up your apartment building or cause a fire that spreads to your house. Admittedly, this is a somewhat rare occurrence, but amateur wiring jobs that could easily burn down a house or apartment are much more common among Mexicans. The bug bomb explosion problem is more an example of bad judgment, which can manifest itself with other dangerous chemicals.
A recent news article reports “A New Jersey man trying to exterminate insects in his apartment blew it up instead, the New York Daily News reported on Monday. Isias Vidal Maceda was unhurt in the incident, but 80 percent of his apartment was destroyed, Eatontown, New Jersey police told the newspaper. The accident occurred as Maceda was spraying for pests in his kitchen. Somehow the bug spray ignited a blast that blew out the apartment’s front windows and triggered a fire that quickly spread, the newspaper said.” (more…)
