About a hundred years ago a co-worker was bored on the 4th of July as he didn't have his usual load of fireworks for the neighborhood block party.
So he got an idea:
He got out his oxy/acetylene torch and lit it and adjusted it to a neutral flame, and snuffed it out against a 2x4. He then stuck the torch in a hefty bag and filled up the bag and tied it off.

He wrapped some toilet paper around a string for a fuse and lit it and ran away.
It went boom. Really really boom.
It was on the side of his house and the explosion caved in the stucco wall and lifted the roof off the rafters on his house and his neighbor's house.
He made bail the next day.
Don't try this at home.
