Every frickin year July 1 rolls around for Canada Day and everyone is fine the next day. July 4th on the other hand? War zone. Story out of Matagorda County, Texas:
A Matagorda County teenager lost a leg, and potentially his eyesight, from a homemade explosive Saturday night that he fashioned with 180 sparklers wrapped tightly with electrical tape.
The sparkler bomb exploded in Rowdy Radford’s face when he lit it behind his aunt’s house in Sargent, Texas. Now the teen is in intensive care at Children’s Memorial Hermann Hospital, his left leg amputated below the knee, his hands, face and chest scorched, and his eyes heavily bandaged. Doctors won’t know if he still has his eyesight until he wakes up from sedation to tell them if he can see.
Both he and a friend, who suffered less serious injuries, had metal shards from the sparklers propelled into their eyes.
The boys’ families say the sparkler bomb blew a four-foot hole in the ground and was heard by neighbors as far as four miles away. Cont. (Video/Autoplay)
