Nasty looking wound!
In my opinion, it doesn't say much for a community that will ostracize a kid and his family for being an accident victim like this.

It seems the ROTC has lowered its standards, too...
How much you want to bet the cannon wis poorly maintained, the round overcharged, or that thy used wet newspaper or someother asinine wadding in the cannon?Originally Posted by huntdaw
Blank firing cannons just don't explode for no reason.

school built cannon
I'm thinking that students building a cannon in a school metal shop is asking for trouble.

The response from the community is absolutely sickening. The entire town should be ashamed of themselves and I hope their lack of compassion brings heavy media exposure and embarrasement for everyone in that town. I hope they find each and every person that made such stupid threats and arrest them for said threats.
To the young man and his family I offer my prayers and best of wishes.

BINGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Mack had the cannon X-rayed earlier this year. Fred Langer, an attorney representing the family, said those results showed a stress fracture in the metal."
And, they kept using this thing that was made in metal shop? You've got to be kidding!
The tragedy of this accident is only exceeded by the lack of caution which might have prevented it, and the lack of compassion which help heal it.

... all ya had to do was mention it was connected to football and it would have explained a whole realm of stupidity.
Sports should be REMOVED from ALL schools. It does NOTHING for the student, it teaches them nothing, and it takes money away from things that are worthwhile.
Sports is such a sad waste of time, money, and effort.
