Man blows up his kitchen while trying to kill a fly

An 80-year-old man blew up his own kitchen while trying to kill a fly with an electric bug zapper.

He was trying to reach the buzzing insect, but he hadn’t planned for the fact that gas was leaking into his kitchen.

The bug zapper, which looks like a tennis racket and is designed to burn flies the moment there is contact, ignited the gas instead of killing the fly.

The kitchen and part of the roof was destroyed, but the man escaped serious injury by diving on the floor.

It’s not known whether the fly survived the blast.
