Booze, Ignorance and Firecrackers: How to Lose Your Hand
What's more American than 4th of July fireworks? Getting hurt by them. Like the Chicago guy whose blown-off hand was picked up by a dog.

Independence Day has yet to be celebrated, but you've probably already heard evidence of people indulging in the holiday's most enduring tradition: setting off fireworks.
That's why Chicago nurse Cheri Steigert wasn't surprised to hear explosions the afternoon of Thursday, June 30. She was surprised, however, when her dog brought home parts of her neighbor's severed hand.
The neighbor lost two fingers after he blew off his hand lighting a firecracker that was apparently equal in power to a half-stick of dynamite, according to CBS Chicago.
If you've heard the booms, cracks and hisses of amateur Fourth of July pyrotechnics, then you know the holiday's second-most enduring tradition will also be rearing its mangled, disfigured head: the horrible-but-avoidable injuries caused by fireworks.
