Story out of Chicago, Illinois:
A Chicago nurse got a rude awakening Thursday afternoon when a man in her Portage Park neighborhood blew off his hand with a firecracker – a body part that was found hours later by the nurse’s dog.
Cheri Steigert normally works the overnight shift and was sleeping around 3:30 p.m. when she heard a large explosion and a scream. She learned that a man had been injured in a fireworks explosion and lost at least two fingers. A few hours later, she learned it was even worse.
Steigert let her dog out in the yard, and it returned with something in its mouth and dropped the item – a bunny rabbit, she thought, at first.
“I came back out to pick it up, and I found out it was the other part of the young man’s hand,” she tells CBS 2. She called authorities.
The Chicago Fire Department says a 39-year-old man was injured by a firework equivalent to a half-stick of dynamite. He was rushed to trauma care at Lutheran General Hospital. Cont.
