A man, aged 20, and a girl of 17 are believed to have been filming a mock duel when they poured fuel into two glass tubes and lit it. The pair were rushed to hospital after one of the devices exploded in woodland at Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire. A third person present at the incident had been questioned, police said. Videotape found A videotape was found nearby by police called to the scene on Sunday. A police spokeswoman said the pair were taken to West Herts Hospital before being transferred to the specialist burns unit at Broomfield Hospital, Chelmsford, in Essex. They are both said to be in a critical condition. She said the 17-year-old girl and a 20-year-old man from Hemel Hempstead suffered serious injuries. She added: "At this stage we are unable to confirm the exact circumstances, but glass tubes and traces of accelerant (flammable substance) were found at the scene." The final film in the Star Wars series, Revenge Of The Sith, arrived at UK cinemas last week. One of the crucial scenes features a light sabre battle between Ewan McGregor's Obi-Wan Kenobi and Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker. *********** Well not young kids, young adults with the brains of chewbacca, quite where they were educated is beyond me, future uk politicians in the making, they certainly have the credentials.
I love how you insult one of the smarter members of the character cast. These two young people obvious had the brains of Jar-Jar.
I wouldn't doubt that happening. I've seen people do some pretty stupid stuff. Heck, here's a funny video I laugh my ass off each time I see it. I can't believe how incompetent some people are!

Heh, fitting song to go along with it too. - N
