Explosion rips open man's legs
Police say trick at party backfired
By MAURA SATCHELL
msatchell@dnj.com
A party trick gone awry Saturday caused an explosion that ripped open
the legs of the host and was so loud neighbors thought it was a blown
transformer, police said.
John Winkler, 28, suffered serious injuries in the explosion at his
River Rock Boulevard home and was still in the hospital Sunday after a
glass container blew up on his legs. Murfreesboro Fire Department and
police were called to the home just before 9 p.m.
"The call came out as a hazardous materials call," said Murfreesboro
Police Officer Scott Newberg, who was dispatched to the scene at 8:56
p.m.
Newberg and his partner Mark Wood found Winkler with serious injuries,
mainly to the thighs.
"He had muscle and tendon out of it and had lost a lot of blood," said
Newberg.
Winkler sat cradling a large glass container, filled it with rubbing
alcohol, added compressed air and lit it, "which essentially turned it
into a bomb, and the glass basically ripped his legs wide open,"
Newberg said.
Winkler, an MTSU student, was hospitalized Sunday at Middle Tennessee
Medical Center on the third floor, but hospital authorities declined
to disclose his condition.
Another partygoer, Shawn Cohan, 31, of Lake in the Hills, Ill., also
was taken to MTMC but was released.
They were celebrating a birthday, Newberg said, and there were no
minors but "plenty of alcohol" at the party held by John and Jenny
Winkler.
Evidence of the party still remained Sunday in the trash bags in the
driveway of the tidy two-story white home with green shutters at 1315
River Rock Blvd. A partying mind-set was illustrated by a car parked
out front with a bumper sticker that read "Stoner Chicks Rule."

How do you add compressed air to rubbing alcohol? We need more details. Of
course the newspaper is just repapeting what they were able to find out. I
suppose asking those sort of questions ould best be done on the editorial
page, like what would likely have been the injuries to the testicles, if
any. It's a job for "pundits".

I guess we start trying to figure out what constitutes a large glass
container that could be cradled, presumably between the legs. A gallon
jug that contained whiskey or wine?
Compressed air, huh? From a paint sprayer or some other garage tool,
presumably to aerate the alcohol.
That could create enough vapor in a small necked bottle to blow it up.
I bet he imagined there would be a stream of flame shooting out.
I DID have a few Mr Wizard moments with small wine bottles and butane.
In a restaurant, release about ten seconds of butane from a lighter
into an empty fifth size wine bottle. The ones that were corked are
strong enough for this. Then, pointed straight up, apply a flame to
the mouth of the bottle - you'll get a sterno-like flame. Then, tilt
the bottle *away *from *anything or *anybody and a quick flame will
shoot out for a second, with a loud pop. This is because tilting it
lets more oxygen flow in.
You can do that if with your hand if you can make a hollow fist. I've
actually filled my fist with butane, lit it and used that flame to
light a young lady's cigarette. When you open the fist, you'll have a
yellow flame in your palm. It happens so fast you don't absorb quite
enough heat to actually get burned.
But, aerated alcohol in a thin-glassed wine jug is a *whole* 'nother
story - far too much fuel, oxygen and weak glass.

It wasn't booze, it was IPA. Perhaps he was planning to pressurize the
container, and light the IPA as it was forced out a hole, a kind of home-
made flame thrower.
If IPA is isopropyl alcohol, the flame thrower effect may have
occurred if done right in a strong enough container - I'm assuming a
wine jug, and one would need a rubber stopper or some sort of lid, to
seal the bottle while air is pumped in. Some other things need be
considered, like what kind of pipe you want the contents of the bottle
to squirt from - I didn't think they would have thought it out that
far.
With isopropyl alcohol alone you would get the sterno type flame, but
if an air source put bubbles thru it beforehand, one could create an
air/fuel ratio into a presumably a large volume - in a gallon jug
containing a quart of isopropyl say - that could, under the influence
of an applied open flame, easily oxidize rapidly enough with enough
force to quickly convert the wine jug into small, powerfully propelled
sharp small shards of glass such as to cause many leaks in ones blood
system. I suppose that one upside might be that if enough unburned
isopropyl was splattered also, the risk of infection may have been
reduced.
Did you read the one about the brothers who used a 1/4 stick of
dynamite (blockbuster) to blow up a beehive? they hid behind a
*window* and one got cut up the other one died of bee stings.
Then there was the one who couldn't get the car started due to extreme
cold, so he heated gasoline on the kitchen stove.
Then, how about the guy who used an electric sander as a vibrator and
was electrocuted when his ***** got sucked into the motor?
When you think you've heard everything.........

Yes, they came out of it just fine. But the house suffered some tens of
thousands of dollars in damage.

In 1850, I believe, the church property in the United States, which paid
no tax, amounted to $87 million. In 1900, without a check, it is safe to
say, this property will reach a sum exceeding $3 billion. I would
suggest the taxation of all property equally.

Did you read the one about the brothers who used a 1/4 stick of
dynamite (blockbuster) to blow up a beehive? they hid behind a
*window* and one got cut up the other one died of bee stings.
Then there was the one who couldn't get the car started due to
extreme cold, so he heated gasoline on the kitchen stove.
Then, how about the guy who used an electric sander as a vibrator
and was electrocuted when his ***** got sucked into the motor?
When you think you've heard everything.........
How about the guys (father and son) who decided that, since dead
Christmas trees burn so quickly, they could feed it into their
fireplace as fast as it burned. Of course, the trunk does not burn
so fast as the needles, nor does it bend . . . .
True story, next door neighbors!
Damn! Did they survive the experience?
Yes, they came out of it just fine. But the house suffered some tens of
thousands of dollars in damage.
What a bunch of idiots. Good thing it wasn't worse :/

Explosion rips open man's legs
Police say trick at party backfired
By MAURA SATCHELL
msatchell@dnj.com
A party trick gone awry Saturday caused an explosion that ripped open
the legs of the host and was so loud neighbors thought it was a blown
transformer, police said.
John Winkler, 28, suffered serious injuries in the explosion at his
River Rock Boulevard home and was still in the hospital Sunday after a
glass container blew up on his legs. Murfreesboro Fire Department and
police were called to the home just before 9 p.m.
"The call came out as a hazardous materials call," said Murfreesboro
Police Officer Scott Newberg, who was dispatched to the scene at 8:56
p.m.
Newberg and his partner Mark Wood found Winkler with serious injuries,
mainly to the thighs.
"He had muscle and tendon out of it and had lost a lot of blood," said
Newberg.
Winkler sat cradling a large glass container, filled it with rubbing
alcohol, added compressed air and lit it, "which essentially turned it
into a bomb, and the glass basically ripped his legs wide open,"
Newberg said.
Winkler, an MTSU student, was hospitalized Sunday at Middle Tennessee
Medical Center on the third floor, but hospital authorities declined
to disclose his condition.
Another partygoer, Shawn Cohan, 31, of Lake in the Hills, Ill., also
was taken to MTMC but was released.
They were celebrating a birthday, Newberg said, and there were no
minors but "plenty of alcohol" at the party held by John and Jenny
Winkler.
Evidence of the party still remained Sunday in the trash bags in the
driveway of the tidy two-story white home with green shutters at 1315
River Rock Blvd. A partying mind-set was illustrated by a car parked
out front with a bumper sticker that read "Stoner Chicks Rule."

What was the idiot thinking?
Oh.......never mind.
How do you add compressed air to rubbing alcohol? We need more details. Of
course the newspaper is just repapeting what they were able to find out. I
suppose asking those sort of questions ould best be done on the editorial
page, like what would likely have been the injuries to the testicles, if
any. It's a job for "pundits".
I guess we start trying to figure out what constitutes a large glass
container that could be cradled, presumably between the legs. A gallon
jug that contained whiskey or wine?
Compressed air, huh? From a paint sprayer or some other garage tool,
presumably to aerate the alcohol.
That could create enough vapor in a small necked bottle to blow it up.
I bet he imagined there would be a stream of flame shooting out.
I DID have a few Mr Wizard moments with small wine bottles and butane.
In a restaurant, release about ten seconds of butane from a lighter
into an empty fifth size wine bottle. The ones that were corked are
strong enough for this. Then, pointed straight up, apply a flame to
the mouth of the bottle - you'll get a sterno-like flame. Then, tilt
the bottle *away *from *anything or *anybody and a quick flame will
shoot out for a second, with a loud pop. This is because tilting it
lets more oxygen flow in.
You can do that if with your hand if you can make a hollow fist. I've
actually filled my fist with butane, lit it and used that flame to
light a young lady's cigarette. When you open the fist, you'll have a
yellow flame in your palm. It happens so fast you don't absorb quite
enough heat to actually get burned.
But, aerated alcohol in a thin-glassed wine jug is a *whole* 'nother
story - far too much fuel, oxygen and weak glass.
Weak mind also.

Having been born and raised in that exact area of the country, I can tell
you that whatever happened might have been done on purpose instigated by
other than the victim. And whatever the police say, I would ignore. There
was once a Sherriff who went by the nickname of "Bookie". Many other things
I could say but won't.

They do give honoraries, though, iirc. It's with the notion that
anyone who does something that stupid is less likely to be seen as a
desirable mate, and thus while they haven't _guaranteed_ their removal
from the gene pool, they've significantly improved their chances. Or
something along those lines.
