Cambodia News, Kratie province: On March 16, 2020, a village man lost his right hand when he went fishing with a can full of explosives in the creek behind his house in Samrong village, Snoul district.
The victim, who was identified as Ron Heap, aged 36, detonated the explosives with the can in his hand, which promptly blew up. There was no way to save the man's hand and it was amputated at the local clinic.

Instant karma!

That will ruin your day. I feel bad for the idiot though.

Where do they get the explosive? (yes, I'm telling you I'd like to buy some )

Do you think that was his facial expression after the bomb went off? He looks like he snapped into a slim Jim. They clearly gave him better stuff than the paracetamol they game me for a plate and screws in my shoulder.

not easy to wake up and have to eat as a lefty.
the old fishing with dynamite system...in this case some fucking leftover mine or ordinance ... crazy bastard..

It is an on going part of the original bombing war crime

In the last 25 years, the United States has spent $160 million to fund clearance of landmines and other explosives as well as provide training, capacity building and mine detection equipment.
Criminally pathetic.

Same for those countries responsible for the mines.
Criminals who got away scott free.

Crimes Against Humanity, that is.

What is that even supposed to mean? Are you trying to say that anyone who uses explosives or other extraordinary means to fish deserves to be mutilated? It's quite annoying how the term "karma" is thrown around among ignorant people.

Best put secret desires like that in a spoiler, Rave
You can get locked up for years in an orange jump suit for even whispering that stuff these days.

Just a word to the wise..... if you don't have expertise in this area beware of the same result. In the business world this is known as an own goal.

Spoiler:

but i totally understand, i face similar temptations myself, not infrequently.

I was honestly being funny and I truly don't want anything like that in my possession- and that's 110% the truth. But I am absolutely curious about what locals have access to and are using out and away from the cities. does anyone know if the propellant is from mixing chemicals, black powder, homemade c-4, landmine adaptation?
