A man has blown up part of his house in France while trying to swat a fly.
The man, who is in his 80s, was about to tuck into his dinner when he became irritated by a fly buzzing around him.
He
picked up an electric racket designed to kill bugs and start swatting
at it - but a gas canister was leaking in his Dordogne home.
A
reaction between the racket and the gas caused an explosion, destroying
the kitchen and partly damaging the roof of the home in Parcoul-Chenaud
village.
According to local media, the unnamed man had a lucky escape, sustaining just a burn to the hand.
