He cant have flowers or the like but balloons (Mylar only) and cards are OK. Let Chris know you are thinking about him. Please send him a card.

I hope it isn't against any rules to ask this, but was he licensed? That would absolutely suck. He finally recovers, then he gets in trouble with the atf

It's probably best that that subject not be discussed here. There is no way to know for sure without talking to him directly, and there is certainly no good that will come from assumptions right now.

 

It really can happen to any of us can't it?

I wish him a speedy recovery, sounds as though it will be a tough one

Oh my. As others have said, at least he could walk out.

Best wishes for a fast recovery and no legal drama.

Oh, that's just too bad, I'm so sorry.

 

I'll wait with interest to find out what happened, though no doubt the authorities will exaggerate the danger and the media will distort it for all its worth. It may not have been very much - even a minor accident could become quite dramatic in an enclosed space like a basement.

Shit.

 

All the best Mumbles, I'm sure you'll be fine. Here's hoping the ATF don't get too heavy handed...

 

I see the cretins are out in force on the article comments... :angry:

At this point, the accident seems have to originated with milling plain ole charcoal. I wont post anything else that I know about the issue, that will have to be Mumbles choice, lets not speculate or call attention to this unnecessarily since the cached pages here can easily be viewed by "outside" sources.

 

I will do my best to update you all on how he is doing and will find out if a collection is being put together.

 

If anyone wants to get in on a get well card, shoot me an email, coldfire11@msn.com I will be getting a card today and will put your name in it and will send it off with the post today.
