Idiots with a Keg

How stupid can you be?
A 22-year-old New Milford, Conn., man was killed and seven others injured after a beer keg thrown into a fire barrel exploded at an outdoor party.

The blast at 3:13 a.m. Sunday was powerful enough to shake windows a mile away from the field where between 50 and 100 people in their 20s were attending an annual pig roast, the Danbury (Conn.) News-Times reported Monday.

And what did they think was going to happen? Hopefully they know who put the keg in the fire and charge them with manslaughter.

Investigators would not reveal who had thrown the barrel into the fire barrel, the newspaper said.

"Nothing I have been apprised of to this point in the investigation ... indicates a deliberate act on anyone's part," New Milford Police Chief Colin McCormack told reporters.

No one put the keg in the fire intentionally? Is that what the police Chief trying to say? I suppose it just floated over into the fire on its own.
