SoFlaJets Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 NEW MILFORD, Conn. (AP) - Investigators were trying to determine who tossed a beer keg into a burning barrel at a party, causing a deadly explosion that sent metal shards slicing through a crowd of people, police said. The explosion early Sunday killed Sean Caselli, 22, of New Milford. Seven other people were taken to hospitals with burns and shrapnel wounds, police said. Caselli was struck in the neck by a piece of flying metal. Police Sgt. Lee Grabner said investigators interviewed witnesses Sunday to try to identify the person who threw a quarter-keg of beer into the flames, and to determine whether criminal charges should be filed. Fires had been set in several barrels to keep people warm at the outdoor party in western Connecticut, said Police Captain Michael Mrazik. "This is a certain tragedy," said Police Chief Colin McCormack. "However, nothing I have been apprised of to this point in this investigation, which I caution is at the very early states, indicates a deliberate act on anyone's part."

Alk Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Ouch, I`d have been hopping mad if it was my keg... Exactly, someone threw a quarter full keg of perfectly good beer into a fire. And there were countless bystanders that could have stopped him but didn't? Someone needed to die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetCane Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 They do crazy things in NE. Fireworks at indoor concerts, tossing kegs into fires, crashing their cars into the Chappaquiddick. I guess they are as stupid as they look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haggis Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Okay, the keg was obviously dry as you cannot toss a full 1/4 keg anywhere, let alone onto a fire. I hope Sean was the one who did it, otherwise some kid is going to jail. Btw, do schools no longer teach Charles or Boyle's Law anymore? Gas expands when hot, people. If that gas is contained, it will still find a way out. Very quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gainzo Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 I swear this happens at least once a year. When I was young my friends and I would never destroy a keg. As Haggis said those things have deposits. Back in my day they were $50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That must have been back in the day before they "tagged" kegs with the purchaser's name. Those were good days. What happened to the tap in this fiasco? You have to put a deposit down on those as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Haggis said those things have deposits. Back in my day they were $50. Still Do. Deposits here at FSU run around 40-45 i think. For whatever reason, at one point last year we had 3 kegs sitting in our house. 2 of them were someone else's I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
