NJ - A Whitehall man escaped serious injury when his attempt to wipe out yellow jackets literally exploded in his face yesterday afternoon. That gasoline-generated explosion at 4:31 p.m. was heard up to two blocks away, said Whitehall Fire Chief Robert Benner. "A guy a block away thought his chimney fell over,'' Benner said. William Sekol, 82, of 4522 Phillip St. discovered a nest of the stinging insects beneath a storm sewer grate in his front yard.

Benner said Sekol's mustache and eyebrows were singed and he had burn marks on his face. Full Story - MagazineLane.com - Her Room Lingerie
