this shit is hilarious. understand that on the east coast this is pretty much unheard of. the sheer volume of stories you guys were able to dig up in such a short amount of time kills me.

i have never once seen something like this on local news. thank god i never got up the balls to make that stuff myself. sometimes i'm not too swift. i know my role. i'll stick with the dry ice hash...
There was at least 50 explosions last year, about one per week.

Bomb Squad was called in for this BHOtard situation. If these BHOtards had told the police what they were doing, they would not have called the bomb squad, and the buildings would not have burned so badly.

Investigators are continuing to investigate the cause of a fire Tuesday night that charred a Church Street apartment building and left an 18-year-old in critical condition with severe burns.
Firefighters were dispatched to the building at about 7 p.m., after neighbors reported seeing flames and hearing an explosion. The 18-year-old and an unidentified female were already outside the building when emergency personnel arrived on scene and were ultimately sent to an out-of-the-area hospital for treatment.
But it was what firefighters found when battling the blaze that ultimately led to the fire getting out of control, burning much of the building and leaving eight to 10 residents homeless.
Humboldt Bay Firefighters had largely extinguished the blaze and were mopping up when they reported coming upon a device for extracting concentrated THC from marijuana -- which they mistook for a pipe bomb -- causing them to pull back out of the building until the county bomb squad could investigate.
Firefighters found the device inside a bedroom closet in the apartment where the fire originated, according to Humboldt Bay Fire Chief Ken Woods. But upon finding the device -- not knowing what it was or what else may have been in the apartment -- fire crews were forced to evacuate the building and continue fighting the fire from the outside, he said.
In the time it took for the Humboldt County Bomb Squad to arrive, the fire had reignited and spread to other parts

of the building via the attic, Woods said.The Humboldt County Bomb Squad was notified about the device at about 8 p.m. and spoke with a Eureka Police Department detective about obtaining a search warrant while en route to the scene, said Lt. Steve Knight of the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office. Bomb technicians arrived on scene at about 9:30 p.m. with the approved search warrant and ultimately used the robot to investigate the suspicious device.
The bulk of the damage to the building and its contents -- about $500,000 total -- is due to the amount of time firefighters had to wait before being able to fight the fire from inside the building, Woods said.
”We set up about a 70-foot perimeter where our people were not close, and we were shooting water in through openings in the windows and through the hole in the roof trying to keep the fire contained,” he said, adding that it took about three hours for the bomb technician to remove the device. “But because (the fire) was in the attic, it spread through probably 65 to 70 percent of the building before we could get a handle on it.”
EPD detective Todd Wilcox said it was necessary to get the search warrant before the bomb squad entered the apartment to ensure that anything found could be used as evidence in a potential prosecution. Additionally, Wilcox said, emergency personnel had no idea what they would find upon further investigation of the residence.
”You can't start taking short cuts when you don't know what you're looking at and what you're going to find,” Wilcox said, adding that police could have found a dead body in the residence and suddenly been dealing with a homicide investigation.
Woods, who went in with the bomb technician to show him where the device was, said there were still active flames when the bomb squad arrived. The technician determined that the device posed no threat, removed it, and firefighters were able to resume battling the blaze. Woods said fire investigators don't think the hashish extractor is the source of the actual fire, adding that the device was still intact when the bomb technician removed it. Firefighters also found butane cylinders in the apartment, he said.
Volunteer personnel with the Eureka Police Department blocked off Summer Street and Pine Street during the bomb squad's investigation. Fire crews were on scene until about 3:15 a.m. Wednesday, Woods said.
Bomb technicians removed a device that consisted of a plastic pipe with a cap at each end, Knight said. Holes had been drilled into each of the caps. Knight said the device technicians removed is similar to an extractor device made out of a galvanized pipe recovered during a marijuana bust in Hydesville Tuesday morning. The extractor device looks very much like a pipe bomb, he said.
According to Knight, manufacturers trying to concentrate THC fill the extractor device with marijuana and force butane through it to remove the THC from the plant matter of the marijuana. The substance that drips out of the device is the concentrated THC, he said. Manufacturers, Knight said, often work in areas with poor ventilation, and the butane fumes can pose a hazard.
”Any ignition source can cause it to explode,” Knight said. “These things are very dangerous.”
According to Eureka Police Chief Murl Harpham, police officers continued to investigate the scene of the fire on Wednesday. Harpham said he didn't have the results of that investigation.
During the initial fire, apartment building residents reported hearing an explosion before seeing smoke and flames. One resident, Heather Smith, who lives in a unit that faces Pine Street, said she thought the water heater might have exploded. Woods said firefighters haven't been able to confirm that yet.
With all the butane in the apartment -- Wilcox said numerous canisters were found -- it's also possible the explosion was caused by the combustible fumes catching a spark, the detective said.
Woods said it's simply too early to tell what caused the blaze or if it had anything to do with the hashish making equipment reportedly found on scene.
”We're looking at all sorts of ignition sources, the water heater being one of them,” he said, “but we haven't nailed them down yet.”
Firefighters responded to the blaze on the 200 block of Church Street at 7:04 p.m. Tuesday. At that point, the fire was centered in a second story apartment. City Ambulance immediately transported two of the apartment's inhabitants, an 18-year-old male and an unidentified female, to St. Joseph Hospital, Woods said. He estimated that the 18-year-old had serious burns covering about 60 percent of his body, and the female suffered from inhalation burns. The two victims were transported by helicopter to a burn unit, Woods said.
According to the University of California Davis Medical Center, the 18-year-old is in critical condition.
In all, firefighters evacuated eight to 10 residents from the building Tuesday night.
Smith and her family were busy removing furniture and other belongings from her home the afternoon after the fire. The living room and front bedroom were largely undamaged, but firefighters were forced to knock a hole in the kitchen and back bedroom ceiling to attack the blaze, which spread via the attic. Plaster, glass and insulation material littered Smith's bed and the bedroom carpet sustained massive water damage. Smith, who had been living in the home for a year and a half, said her landlord told her it may be four to six months before she or the other residents can move back into their homes.
Despite the damage, Smith said firefighters had managed to save most of her furniture, her clothing and her daughter's belongings. Smith said she's currently staying with family.
”I had just decorated it, finally turning it into our home,” she said, adding that she may move to Fortuna. “But everybody's fine. My daughter's almost three, and she's handling it like a champ.”
Out of the eight to 10 residents that were forced to leave their home due to the fire, all but two women were able to find shelter through family or friends, said Cris Jones, deputy regional disaster director for the Humboldt County chapter of the American Red Cross. The Red Cross helped the two women by putting them up in a motel for two nights and giving them vouchers for clothing and food.
Jones said if any of the other residents have additional needs, they can call the Red Cross at 443-4521 or the community switchboard at 441-1001.
Woods said the cause of the fire remains under investigation and Wilcox said EPD is continuing to investigate the possibility there was a hash making operation in the residence, and may refer the case to the Humboldt County District Attorney's Office for possible criminal charges.

Okay, we've skipped a few good BHOtard incidents. But this one is personal because I know this person, and a child was injured.

[h=1]Woman Accused Of Drug Explosion Pleads Not Guilt[FONT=arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif]Y[/FONT][/h]


3:24 PM: A woman accused of causing a drug-related explosion that injured her and a 12-year-old boy at a home in San Francisco's Ingleside neighborhood on Tuesday made a tearful initial appearance in court today.
Angelic Cisneros, 33, pleaded not guilty to charges related to the blast reported at 8:50 p.m. Tuesday at 1228 Capitol Ave. near Ocean Avenue.
After a fire was quickly extinguished at the home, investigators determined that a butane tank exploded as drugs were allegedly being manufactured, according to police.
Following the explosion, Cisneros and the boy went to a hospital for treatment of burn injuries. As of Wednesday night, the boy remained hospitalized with injuries that are not life-threatening.
Police have not said what Cisneros' relationship was to the injured boy.
Cisneros, whose face was red and splotchy from apparent burn wounds, began openly crying when she was led into the courtroom at the San Francisco Hall of Justice this afternoon.
After she consulted with her attorney from the public defender's office before the arraignment, Cisneros put her head in her hands.
Prosecutors have charged Cisneros with six felonies--recklessly causing a fire causing bodily injury, causing a fire to a structure, child endangerment, attempting to manufacture a controlled substance, possession of drugs for sale, and having a house used for drug sales and manufacture, according to the district attorney's office.
She was also charged with misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia.
Cisneros pleaded not guilty to all charges and bail was set at $350,000 before she exited the courtroom in tears.
She is set to appear in court again later this month.

Here is a bad one from 2009
http://current.com/16tim4c

TEEN DIES IN HASH OIL EXPLOSION

An 18-year-old Chilliwack teen is dead after hash oil he was cooking in the bedroom of a McIntosh Drive apartment exploded and burned more than 40 per cent of his body.

The teenager, whose name is not being released by police at the family's request, died late Monday at the Victoria Jubilee Hospital where he was taken for treatment of severe burns to his arms and legs following the Saturday morning explosion.

"This is a tragic incident that reveals the true dangers associated to drugs and drug production," Const. Lea-Anne Dunlop said.

Two female teens and a male of unknown age were also in the apartment at the time of the 11:30 a.m. explosion, but were not injured.

Dunlop could not confirm whether police investigators believe it was the teen's first time converting marijuana into oil, or whether he was producing it for personal use rather than for sales.

But she said there was a "relatively small amount" of marijuana in the apartment compared to what is usually seen in producing drugs for trafficking purposes.

However, along with a quantity of marijuana, police also seized score sheets and various weapons in the apartment - along with the isopropyl alcohol and butane used to manufacture hash oil.

According to an Internet website, hash oil is the most potent form of cannabis, but making it is fraught with danger because of the highly flammable butane. Isopropyl alcohol is not as flammable, but fumes can ignite when exposed to a spark or flame. An ounce of marijuana shake will produce 1-3 grams of hash oil.

Dunlop pointed out that there's always a risk involved in producing any kind of drug, from the fires caused by marijuana grow-ops to the chemical explosions in meth labs.

"There's always a risk involved," she said. "As a result of the injuries in this case, there was a man's life claimed."

"Our thoughts are with the family as they deal with their loss," she said.

SAN FRANCISCO—The second defendant in an alleged drug lab explosion at a San Francisco apartment has pleaded not guilty and says he wasn't there when the blast occurred.Twenty-six-year-old Thomas Weed entered the plea to drug and fire counts in court on Thursday. He said he was the victim of lies being told by the other defendant in the case, his girlfriend, 33-year-old Angelic Cisneros.
Authorities say Weed and Cisneros were manufacturing hash oil at the apartment in the city's Ingleside neighborhood last week when the blast occurred.
It is believed to have been caused by butane.
Cisneros was injured. Her 12-year-old son suffered burns and required skin grafts on his face and body.
Cisneros has also pleaded not guilty

A San Francisco man accused of causing an apartment explosion in the Ingleside neighborhood while trying to make hashish oil railed against his girlfriend and co-defendant in his first Superior Court appearance Thursday.
Thomas Weed, 26, created a hubbub when he briefly resisted his attorney's advice and insisted on his right to speedy court proceedings, saying the only reason for a delay would be to "find evidence against me."
Weed, who pleaded not guilty, declared loudly to his attorney that he "didn't get burned" and "wasn't there" when his girlfriend, Angelic Cisneros, 33, and her 12-year-old son were injured in the Feb. 7 explosion on the 1200 block of Capitol Avenue.
"I don't want any time for her to come up with more lies against me," Weed said angrily.
Prosecutors say the blast happened when butane used in the manufacture of hash oil exploded. Weed and Cisneros have been charged with six felony counts each, including recklessly causing a fire that resulted in bodily injury, child endangerment and drug counts.
Weed's attorney, George Borges, told his client that waiving his right to a preliminary hearing within 10 days would allow him to prepare a stronger defense. Judge Richard Ulmer pointed out to the defendant that Borges had more legal experience than he did and said he should listen to him.
"I'm not telling you what to do, but it's up to you," the judge told Weed.
Within minutes of his outburst, Weed decided to waive his right to a speedy preliminary hearing after all.
"I'm sorry to waste the court's time," he said. "It's a very difficult decision."
Borges declined to comment outside court.
Weed and Cisneros, who has also pleaded not guilty, are being in lieu of $350,000 bail apiece. Weed is scheduled to return to court Feb. 27 alongside Cisneros to set a date for a preliminary hearing.
