A couple of burglars in New Hampshire decided they wanted to break into a safe, so they got a cutting torch and went to work.
Turns out the safe contained commercial-grade fireworks.
Oops.
They're deader'n hell.

Thomas Komisarek, owner of New Yard Landscaping, said the container was a safe.
"The whole thing went up and blew their bodies apart," Komisarek said.

Man mauled to death while trying to take selfie with a bear

The Hindustan Times reports the victim, Prabhu Bhatara, was returning from a wedding in the Pharsaguda area of the eastern Indian state of Odisha with several others when he stopped his car near a forest to attend to "nature's call." He spotted an injured bear and tried to snap a selfie with the animal.

Hope he took the time to zip up.

The Hindustan Times also reported the bystanders "were busy shooting the incident on their mobile phones instead of trying to rescue him." The newspaper quotes forest official Dhanurjaya Mohapatra as saying "Bhatara died on the spot."

Hey, gotta feed the Facebook ...
