A man in France who tried to swat a fly in his house ended up blowing his place up instead.
Media reports reported that an 80-year-old man in Dordogene, France had caused an explosion in his house.
According to BBC, the man was in the process of tucking into his dinner.
A fly though wouldn't let up, buzzing endlessly around the octogenarian.
The man had enough, and took up his handy electric fly swatter.
Unbeknownst to him, there was a gas canister leak in his kitchen at the time.
He swatted, and the house exploded.
French media, however, reported that the man somehow only escaped with a burnt hand.
The kitchen was destroyed, and the roof was damaged as well.
According to French media, the fly's fate is unknown.
