Investigation Summary
At approximately 12:10 p.m. on August 31, 1990, Employee #1, the owner of Fantasy II Film Effects Company, and Employee #2, his son, were attempting to create and film a fireball effect. They were atop a 35 ft scaffold that was placed alongside a 30 ft sound-tube (a device used in construction for caissons that hold concrete). Condoms filled with 5 grams of black gunpowder had been placed underneath 2 cups of gasoline at the bottom of the sound-tube. The gunpowder was ignited, creating a fireball at the top that flashed. Employee #1 sustained first- and second-degree burns on the inside of his left arm. Employee #2 sustained second-degree burns on his left hand and knuckles. Both men were treated at St. Joseph's Hospital and released to return to work.
