Cannon Explodes Causing Gender Reveal Death

[Suck My Glock]

I suspect this was a mere signal cannon, never designed to throw a projectile. I also theorize that the payload of colored powder for the gender reveal was probably heavy enough to compress the propellant sufficiently to raise internal pressures to produce this accident.

A man was killed Saturday evening after shrapnel from an exploding cannon used at a baby shower in Michigan struck him, police said.

A homeowner in Genesee County fired a small cannon-type device in the backyard around 7:30 p.m. to celebrate the baby’s pending arrival, according to Michigan State Police.

“The homeowner had purchased the cannon at an auction prior to the event and had fired the cannon several times prior. The cannon is designed to create a big flash, a loud noise and create smoke,” state police said in a statement.

The cannon allegedly exploded and struck Evan Thomas Silva, 26, of Hartland, who was standing 10 to 15 feet away, police said. Three parked vehicles and the garage where the baby shower was being held were also impacted.

“The cannon did not contain any projectiles, but it is suspected that the gun powder loaded into the device caused the cannon to fracture,” the police said.

The victim was rushed to Hurley Medical Center where he later died from his injuries, according to police. It is not currently known how Silva is related to the homeowner.
Michigan State Police said the bomb squad and Gaines Township Fire Department responded to the incident. Officials are investigating and the case will be sent to the Genesee County Prosecutor for review, according to police.

So what was the gender?

Send your loved ones a text message, gender reveal parties are stupid. I bet you there's a video, this screams social media narcissism.

[Gunslinger808]

Between that, and the idiots that lit California on fire, these things are getting stupid.
Like AR-15Man said, it’s all about social media, gotta be bigger and better than everyone else.

I think he accomplished that.

Just dying to know,....

[Cubiclerevolt]

Just think.

That guy woke up that morning believing he was going to do the same thing he did every day except attend his coworker/friend/acquaintance shower and ends up dying.

That would be the worst thing in the world laying there, bleeding out thinking "I could have stayed home and I would still be alive."

Narcissistic obnoxious garbage.

Same thing with people's cringe worthy theme weddings and or things they do. I've seen people show up and where their gi's to the wedding OR do their dance and then breakout in some impromptu choreographed fight scene that was only funny or interesting to the people who did it.

Anyone know if he had more powder? Asking for a friend.

H-110 in a carbide cannon ,,,what could go wrong ?
I could point fingers but I survived putting gunpower in a 1/2" water pipe and stuffed in a patched ball bearing . It failed in on grand scale ,,,,,, but I was about 10 years old .

I'm more upset that he was WASTING powder when so money of us NEED it.

So weird thing #1 is that the picture is from an Arizona incident about 3 years ago


Weird thing #2 (at least in this video) isn't tannerite non flammable?

You know .. humans have been making babies for quite some time .. Even my dumb a$$ made one. Its not that impressive and NO ONE cares about what gender your baby is or whether you were capable of making one other than POSSIBLY your immediate family. Cut it out.

Oh and .. isnt it Horrible to decide your babies gender at birth without allowing them to decide what gender they will be later in life .. oh the horror!!

What if you kill your friend or set a state on fire and you were wrong. cant get the blue powder back in the bottle.
