Newsflash: Trailer all blowed up.

Direct from my hometown local news: Dude's trailer got all blowed up.

Click here to view a video with the best eyewitness accounts ever caught on tape. Here is a sneak preview:

Or if you're more interested in the details, you can read the article here. This has to be one of the best things I've seen all week, and I owe it all to MommyT. I wish I could save it and watch it for always. Is there any way to do that with a streaming Windows Media file?

What language are they speaking????? Aside from when the woman clarified that her trailer was a "mobile home", I couldn't understand a word. Maybe it's because I'm from California. And I'm blonde. Would someone please transcribe this??? I must know what they are saying.

How glorious. The man is like a cartoon character. He should have his own reality tv show: Honey I blew up the trailer park.

Yeah, I love how the article says:

The Cardenas family two doors away was watching women's basketball on television when the explosion shook their mobile home, knocking porcelain dolls off walls.

Yes, people, it says KNOCKING PORCELAIN DOLLS OFF WALLS. 'Nuff said.

That is indeed a classic! I love the lady's fuschia nail polish that flashes when she uses her hands to really accentuate how much it felt like King Kong was shakin that trailer.

"Trailers all blowed up". That is classic.

Did I hear him say something about an 8-track cassette?

Aw, no way! I can't watch the video...all I get is "Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the associated Windows Media metafile playlist does not contain any items, or the playlist is not valid for some other reason."

"sweat pants and bare feet" Could they BE any more stereotypical?

Seriously though, when your as low as a trailer park, I mean mobile home park and it blows up, one's life is pretty much as low as it can get. I kind of feel sad.

"Trailer went kaboom!" Oh that's just classic white trash right there. I'll have to make sure that next time I am chillin in my sweats & bare feet that I smoke my cigarette outside. Can't be havin my trailer go kaboom.

All Blow'd up. For shame.

The guy has a mullet, a cowboy hat with the American Flag, and is wearing a wife beater. He then specifically mentions an 8-track, bare feet, cigarettes, and sweat pants. Their is also a woman wearing an armful of plastic bracelets, and little procelain dolls are mentioned.

Too perfect. I'm calling April Fools day joke.

Not only am I madly appreciating this clip for obvious reasons, I had totally forgotten about KARE11!! I haven't lived in MN for like ten years, that's why.

I agree with the poster who thinks that mentioning the 8-track tape is a dead give-away for some televised April Foolin'.

This seems to perfect to not be an April Fools Joke, but the St. Paul Pioneer Press reported the story of the explosion and noted:

"Two neighbors rushed out to rescue Gollner. They found him on his back with his arms outstretched, wearing sweat pants but no shirt or shoes."

"I haven't seen stuff fly that high in a long time," said 56-year-old neighbor John Fastner.

John Fastner and the guy in the cowboy hat need their own tv show.
